Fun for all at the Cookout, Band Olympics, and Bonfire

As the Marching Giants continue to tweak and improve their show, they took a much deserved break on Saturday, August 21. Once again, Dave Cole, created fun and games for the members to partake. After the members had their bellies full of food, they participated in races which included the Whoppers® race, Leaning Tower of Cheesa, Cupcake and Pie eating contests, Noodle Race, The Tunnel Race, along with a couple of others. In the end, the Low Brass members had won the most races; and were crowned the 2010 Band Olympic winners. However, all members were winners as everyone was seen laughing and enjoying themselves. Once the games were complete, the members conducted their annual impersonations of the Directors and Staff. Bass Clarinet, Yusuf, was named the best impersonator for his impersonation of Joey, one of the Visual Techs. After a fun evening, the members gathered around the bonfire to welcome the new members into the Marching Giants. Along with the bonfire, a smaller fire ring was provided for the members to roast marshmallows to be eaten or to be turned into S’mores. It was a good ending to the week after the many hours the members have put in over the past couple of months.
The Band would like to thank the Cable family for providing and preparing the food for the cookout; and the booster members who helped with the serving the members. A GREAT BIG THANKS goes to Dave Cole for putting this event all together for everyone to enjoy.

If you haven’t seen the Marching Giants a-MAZE-ing show this season, make sure you get to Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, August 28, where they will perform during halftime at the football game where Ben Davis will take on Penn.
