(3) YA Ninth-grade French-horn player Elsie, spunky and driven, attends the elite Shining Birches summer music camp. She's aghast to discover marching band is her "ensemble diversity" requirement. Through a string of comical mishaps, Elsie is indoctrinated into the plume-wearing, chicken-clucking band she eventually comes to love. An entertaining story of family, friendship, first crushes, and a marching band.
