Bagpipes. I hope I might be forgiven for posting this probably irrelevant thing, but I love it. I read it many years ago....: A child was asked about bagpipes. He or she said 

  "maybe if you stop squeezing it it will stop screaming."

  I add that I love bagpipes.

Let's not forget the love of the Scottish Bagpipes that play at patriotic events 
and elsewhere.

I have no kids, but I've had similarly positive musical impressions of many 
young people today. Thanks to the internet, they can check out a wide variety of 
music easily, and many do.

I'm glad to hear that at least some band programs are thriving. There are a lot 
of outlets like this for young players that don't get a lot of coverage, but 
that doesn't mean they have no impact. Every summer, drum and bugle corps 
performances draw big crowds around the country, and the finals are seen in HD 
in theaters in many areas. Playing standards are exceptionally high, and the 
choice of material is eclectic. Check out the setlists (under "Show Summary 
1971-2013") at the Wikipedia entry for the Blue Devils Drums and Bugle Corps. 
You'll see everything from Chick Corea (who played in a drum and bugle group 
when he was young) to Stravinsky.

Sorry, Tom, your inner old-codger is showing...I have a teenager. He and his 
cohort are real music hounds, playing instruments both acoustic and electric, 
perpetually starting bands, going to live concerts, and collecting music in 
various formats. At his public high school there are two very active music 
ensembles, one of them regularly plays jazz festivals in Europe.
