The Marching Giants had a busy weekend starting with presenting their show, The Maze, during halftime at Homecoming on Friday, September 17. The stands were packed with Giants fans. As the band took the field, the crowd was on their feet, cheering for the entertainment to begin. Members take position from end field to end, the music began and the guard started their opening routine; the crowd went wild. Fans in the stands could be heard cheering, “You look great band!” With the comments from the stands, the Marching Giants could feel good about their Friday night performance.
Their weekend was over yet, members returned to the school early Saturday morning to practice and prepare for Clermont “Old Fashion Days” parade. This is a fun event for the Marching Giants as they are able to participate in the community event to show their appreciation for the support they receive from the community. After the parade, freshman, Evan Brosman stated, “This was a fun day.” The day did not end with the end of the parade for the Marching Giants. They returned to the HS to enjoy a pizza lunch, provide by the Band Boosters, for their hard work and dedication to the band. Once lunch was complete, the members returned to the practice field to continue improving their show as they prepare for Bands of America (BOA) regional competition in Louisville, KY on Saturday, September 25. If you can make the trip, you won’t be disappointed with this National competition. See you in the stands!
