My Future in the BRHS Band Program When I joined the Bridgewater-Raritan program in August‚ I did not know what to expect.

As I slide my hands into my marching band gloves‚ I notice details that I ignored during the 4 years I was in Eastern Regional High School. The gloves are white and made of cotton. First‚ I focus on my wrist. A Velcro strap‚ surrounding my wrist‚ fastens the opening. As I stroke the palms of my gloves‚ I notice the fabric has tiny bumps to create friction and allow for a secure grip. The fabric covering the back of my hands has a soft‚ smooth texture.
