the band is looking great!!!!!! the halftime show really pumps up the crowd and gets them into it, and they even know the composers of the music, fans also love the Thriller Dance

yeah the competitive band and football band are new this year. For the football band we have 5 drum majors and for the competitive badn there are 4. Our football show is titled "We love the 80's" and its has hits of the 80's in it one being thriller in which everyone except tubas and drum line do part of the thriller dance. Its a fun show.
