The WVSSAC has not always maintained a uniform ban on participation by homeschoolers. In 1992, Bill and Marianne Hughes (Wetzel County) won an appeal to SSAC rules, which allowed their son, Greg, to play in Magnolia High School’s marching band. He was in band for three years, and his sister, Clare, also joined the band from 1993-94. For a fuller account of this story, read School Band, by Bill Hughes,.
