Just Ellis - A Marching Band Story

After becoming drum major of his high school and leading the band for almost two weeks in summer band camp, Ellis learns that due to a new job for his dad, his family has to move across the country from Georgia to California.

This means a new town, a new school, and of course, a new band. The problem is, he's coming in late, and now he'll have to fit in to a new band family without the benefit of being drum major.

These are just early developmental sketches for a new stand alone short, I'm writing in the "Just Rigby" universe.

If you've read Just Rigby (aka titled Because in its published form), you know that Ellis, the main character of THIS story, plays a small, but significant, role in Rigby's journey in her novel.

This is a short story about Ellis and HIS journey and takes place AFTER the events in Just Rigby (aka Because).

Each part is an exploration and will eventually end up in published form, but for now, enjoy reading about Ellis and his journey into a new band family on the other side of the country.
