Band Geeks

In less than four months, 220 teenage performers will step on the world stage at the pinnacle event for marching bands: the Rose Parade. These teenage musicians are disciplined, motivated and talented. The stakes are high, and they only have one chance to get it right. There will be frustration and set-backs mixed with joy and excitement as these high-school students prep for the biggest parade in their marching career. We get to know three band members, as they try to balance the emotional and physical pressures of being world-class performers with home, school, and work life. (Sedona International Film Festival)
