MELODIOUS EDUCATION
TSWEETS Band Fellowship Inc, members, are comprised of different sections of the marching band program. Some members play an instrument, dance, twirl, and work on the student band staff. This diversity sometimes means that not all members understand basic music theory and history. In our Melodious Education TALENT, all members will receive basic music theory and history education to continue to make our bands and sections the best they can be.
“Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.”
