The larger Nappanee community loves its NorthWood "Red Regiment" marching band.
Those who love the marching band will also enjoy reading the book: American Band by Kristen Laine. While written as the story of one marching band - Concord Marching Minuteman - and their 2004 marching season, it is much more than that. As the book's subtitle says, it is about "Music, Dreams, and Coming of Age in the Heartland."
