I, too, have no idea how to write about music in any meaningful or critical way beyond "Sounds make brain feel good".

But I also miss classical music and big wind ensembles. The actual audio experience, yes, but also something about watching conductors and playing together with a group of like-minded teens with very little regard for what we were even playing.

(Our go-to band movie was Mr. Holland's Opus. Pretty sure we watched that at least once per year.)

Sounds make brain feel good!!! It's so simple and yet--

Mr Hollands Opus maybe a more sensible choice to show high schoolers? Extremely bold (but also great) to repeatedly show rowdy teens a movie where somebody says the words "nipples of Venus" lol
