Hey students! You may wonder what my title means…’football season equals marching season’. It means where there is a football game…there is a band! Did you go to the pep rally and/or game last weekend? How many times did you hear the band play? Did you hear the drummers play along to help the cheering? Did you clap with the fight song or sing along to our school song? Imagine for a minute if the band didn’t play at the pep rallies or games. Doesn’t it just ‘feel’ like something’s missing? Music can really help to celebrate, pump you up, and honor your school. This week, watch and listen to our awesome band at the pep rally or football game. Count how many times they play and when they play. (fight song, National Anthem, pump up songs when we make a good play, half time show, school song, etc.) If you see Mr. Steele or one of the band students, make sure to tell them thank you for playing and what a great job they’re doing! They help make our school spirit what it is through music! 🙂
