Tonight the RHS Marching Mustangs held a preview night for families and friends to see their show performed in the [brand new!] uniforms under the lights on the field.
Especially loved seeing this girl in her uniform!
Alexis, Annah, and Taylor, ready for their first marching band performance...
They marched from outside the band room around the track to the far end of the field...
They did their Monster Stomp--a favorite of every crowd!
We were so happy to see the stands full of families and fans of the band tonight!!!
They look GREAT in the new uniforms, and it is so exciting to see Annah out there on the field!!!
There she is! (Second from the right, with glasses)
The show is called, "Your Memory Will Carry On," and is Mr. M's arrangements of songs by My Chemical Romance.
The story the color guard portrays is a young couple who meets and falls in love.
The young man joins the military and goes off to war, much to the disappointment of the young lady.
He is killed in action, and she is "killed" when she discovers that he has died.
He is killed in action, and she is "killed" when she discovers that he has died.
His "spirit" returns to her and she is comforted by the memories they made together.
It brings a tear, I must admit!
I'm really proud of these kids!!! There are around 70 kids in the RHS marching band. That is about 50% of the kids in the entire high school! There is a lot to be said about that, I think! At such a small school, for so many kids to be involved in a band is impressive. And all of them are involved in other school activities right now too--volleyball, football, golf, student council, vocal jazz ensemble, fall play, you name it. I am pretty happy about the fact that these kids can be involved in multiple activities and do so well at all of them. Fun stuff!
