Noland dedicates his time to marching band

Sophomore Jacob Noland does lots of things. One of his favorite things to do is Marching band. He loves to play the trumpet. He has been doing this for five years, since sixth grade. He hopes to eventually receive a scholarship from doing marching band his senior year.

He decided to do marching band after realizing it took a lot of self-determination and concentration.

“You travel a lot, like to Indianapolis and Ohio and around Missouri,” Noland said.  “I love playing the trumpet because it has a good sound and gives off lots of noise.”

Marching band is a lot of work. There are about 10 competitions a year, but some say it’s hard to stop once you begin; the competitions can draw a crowd.  The small ones have about 100 people at the event and the big ones can range from 500 to 1,000 people at a competition.

“I want to do this in college,” Noland said. “I can’t wait till next year for another season to start up again. My favorite thing about competing is seeing all the people and performances and all the energy people have performing.”
