Blogging on the Move

Baseball, basketball, football, swimming, tennis, soccer but never marching band : until today. My introduction to the sport came at the hands of the Lawrence High School marching band and was an eye-opening experience at that. The skill that it takes to play an instrument at the high school level is astounding, let alone having to march in precise steps as well.

The band is wonderful entertainment during each sporting event, but their dedication to practice and play well on Saturday, their gameday, rivals that of any other high school sport. The LHS drumline was very helpful in teaching me the ways of marching band and expressing their dedication towards perfection, while not laughing in the process.

My hat goes off to our local marching band members. The next time you get up to grab some peanuts and a soda at half time, sit back down and marvel at the rhythm put together by the marching band, you just might be impressed as I was.
