All i can say is that Turn: Washington's Spies is one of the BEST historical dramas I've ever watched. I loved every single episode of it. The characters, the ambientations, the writing, the soundtrack. Perfect. Just Perfect.
(well, expect for Anna and Abe's drama: i've found it unbearable, even when they already had such amazing patners like Mary Woodhull and Selah Strong)

Turn:Washington spies is such an enjoyable show, it's honestly addicting.
The only draw back is that Brewster and Benjamin don't kiss. Not once. Not even ONCE I tell you.

Turn marching band au
my high school didn't have a marching band, just a regular band, and i wasn't in it (i was an athlete LOL) so this is based off of my one year of experience in sixth-grade band haha. (i played the clarinet btw, in case that's relevant)
washington is the exhausted band director
ben plays the trumpet. why? idk, it seems like his vibe
caleb is DEFINITELY percussion
anna seems like a clarinet kinda gal... first chair, of course
abe plays something dumb like the triangle just to get the class credit
john andre plays the flute, ofc! (and every other instrument. he's a theatre kid, he gets the solos)
hewlett plays the piano VERY enthusiastically
simcoe isn't even in the band but is at every rehearsal for mysterious reasons
abigail plays the bass clarinet. she's underrated like her instrument, but lowkey carries every song
peggy isn't in the band. she does ~choir~
robert townsend plays the sax. he's cool like that
mary plays the oboe and is surprisingly girlboss at it
robert rogers plays the flute only because john andre also plays the flute and he wants to bother and stalk him
benedict arnold plays the trombone. he thinks he should get every solo, but he is wrong (and no one wants to hear a trombone solo anyway!)
lafayette plays the FRENCH horn (LOOOL)
hamilton plays the trumpet and talks ben's ear off about politics every rehearsal
baker plays the bassoon, because no one else wanted to and he took one for the team
and richard woodhull is that One Annoying Parent who spams washington with meddlesome emails about how abe should have gotten every solo
