Band director Michael Sindt said, “Considering we didn’t get outside as much for practice last week they were able to maintain their level of quality from the previous week. Marching on the bridge was very cool, along with getting to see different schools march and play from all over and different states. The drum-off was also cool to watch.”
The band’s next performance is the State Marching competition in Kearney on Saturday, October 20.
