DESCRIPTION:
(from Amazon's press release, May 2024) Band is a diverse ensemble of passionate teens who navigate the chaos of adolescence while finding unity and belonging in their school's marching band. Star player Axel (Garcia), his fiercely loyal best friend Sasha (Eilers), sexy newcomer Simon (Fitzalan), heartthrob drummer Evan (Hall), friends, and lovers march under the watchful eye of their fearless leader Cole (Hickey) and his right-hand Zadie (Adams). As the adults navigate their personal lives and school politics while hiding secrets of their own, they will, alongside their students, ultimately confront their individual struggles and shared dreams. Amidst the highs and lows of coming of age in the 21st century, our teens will learn that their greatest strength lies in embracing differences, forging an unbreakable bond of chosen family and finding a hopeful tune of unity in a world of contrasts.
