The Marching Giants found themselves in the classroom last week as 2010-2011 school session began last Wednesday. This did not keep the members from continuing their practices. They were on the practice field three times after school; learning new drills. They have also learned additional warm-ups to keep them limber and agile as they move around the field. Directors, Techs, and Assistance work with the members to help them improve movements and music. Members are also learning the music for the “African Rundown”, composed by David Arnold; the music is from the James Bond movie “Casino Royale”.
This week, the members have been working with Wayne Downey. Wayne “is the Music Director of the fourteen time DCI Champion Concord Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps.”, per the bluedevils.org website. Wayne will create the adaptation of the music selections the Band will be performing during “The Maze”.
Don’t forget: If anyone would like to make a donation to the Uniform Fund, please contact David Cole, Assistant Band Director, at David.Cole@wayne.k12.in.us. All donations are tax deductable.
