If anything, the parents in the youth music scene are even more frenetic, cutthroat and emotional than in baseball, because competitions are judged rather than umpired.

Around here we call them BAND PEOPLE. They are scary, mean, and nasty.

There is nothing wrong with striving towards a college scholarship as long as the kid has the talent to do so.

It is easy for some of us to pay for our son's college. What about people who don't have much money. They are just looking to get their son into a college or juco any where so they can have a better life. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Unless the Dad is delusional. Nothing wrong with having expectations either. To be vocal and nuts as described at the top of this thread is out of control. So are some of the wide brush statements in some of the other posts. jmo
