Our motto is ‘Don’t Panic.’ Thanks to technology I work with students here in Massachusetts and as far away as California. Our older son, Bryan, is a senior at Northwestern, where his experience in a Big 10 marching band is just slightly different from my time in the Brown Band. Our younger son, Matt, is at Colby College, where he’s playing football and there is no marching band.
