Today marching band started for Sarah and Brittany!  Sarah is excited to be a marching leader again, and Brittany is very excited to be in pit.  Even though she plays the violin, they let people with musical ability play with the pit (which they didn’t have last year because the school was so small).  She plays the bass drum, gong, marimba, and other percussion instruments.  It’s pretty cool!  They have to go from 9-5 and they work really hard.  The marching band is up in the 70’s this year which will really increase the sound!

I have volunteered also to be a member of the pit crew (a.k.a. “pit dad”) and will help them set up and take down for their halftime show during all the home football games.  I’m excited to be involved.
