Fieldsite

The topic I'm choosing to write about is my high school marching band.  I was in band for all four years of high school.  The possible field sites I could use is the band field, the band room, and the buses.  Through my many years of being in band, the one thing that stands out in my mind is the smell of the band room.  Over the course of the three months of marching band season, the smell increased exponentially.  During band camp, the smell would start.  People would leave their smelly shoes and socks in their lockers over night and it would smell up the entire band room.  Once competitions started, the smell continued to get worse.  People would forget clothing in the room and it would just sit and fester.  Some of the things I hope to discover would be more about the people in the band and the different interests they have.  I already know that we have a lot of different people. including cheerleaders and homecoming kings and queens, but I know there is going to people involved in things I'm not aware of.
