Most people come to the football games for the football, but there are those that go for the half-time show. \u00a0During half-time, people will witness the band performing their marching shows.<\/p>\n
For the band’s first marching show, they will be using the songs Thriller, Y.M.C.A., The Time Warp, and Disco Inferno. \u00a0A popular favorite seems to be “Thriller.” \u00a0All these songs share a similar theme. \u00a0According to Ashton Stafford, a 12th grade band member, this years theme is “dance.”<\/p>\n
When asked how the songs were chosen, Stafford said, “Mr. Luzzi and his wife, Mrs. Luzzi, listen to songs that have similar themes. \u00a0They choose songs and collaborate with the other directors to narrow the list down to four songs, and once that’s done, our show tunes are good to go.”<\/p>\n
Rylee Case, an 11th grade band member, says, “Mr. Luzzi chooses them with his wife. \u00a0If she can’t sing along, she doesn’t like them,” \u00a0while Blave DePaepe, a 12th grade band member, says, “Mrs. Luzzi goes through songs, and if she can’t get down with it, she doesn’t pick it.”<\/p>\n
Many students enjoy being part of the band. \u00a0If you aren’t a member, have you ever wondered why these students are in band? \u00a0Case answered this question. \u00a0She said, “Because it’s fun. \u00a0I like marching, the band trips, and hanging out with friends in band. \u00a0Oh and for the music man.”<\/p>\n
Band seems to be pretty well-liked at SHS. \u00a0What do you think makes band so likable? \u00a0Stafford said, “I love the music, the friendships, the memories you make, and the footprints you leave behind when you march your best show. \u00a0Band is just a big family, and we grow as we learn. \u00a0It’s an unforgettable experience, and I’ll miss my second family when I leave here.”<\/p>\n
Depaepe feels the marching competitions will go good this year. \u00a0“We have a lot of returners this year, and the freshman are learning fast,” he says.<\/p>\n
Case was also asked how she feels the marching competitions will go, and she said, “Great. \u00a0We practice and rehearse a lot. \u00a0I do not think we’ve ever done horrible.”<\/p>\n
Stafford says, “I feel that the band is strong this year, just like all years. \u00a0We have great music, great players, and great directors, so the futures bright for us, and I’m optimistic about our performances!”<\/p>\n
