School Band Thrift Store Favorites
I love old school band and choir records, especially if the selections performed are unusual choices for the kids in question. I also love hearing kids who sound like they're just barely starting to pick up their instruments. I have many many of these records collected over the years, and have many favorites. Usually these kind of records only have one to a handful of redeeming tracks, so for you fans of incorrect and outsider music, Otis and I have put together a compilation of a few recent thrift store favorites (!) found both in Utah and Vermont (where I'm currently attending school. Hopefully this will also get you pumped for the upcoming school year!
