FUN FACT
Marching bands use standardized step sizes so performers can calculate exactly how far they need to travel across the field.
Our Volunteer attend over 40 local events to raise money selling raffle tickets from June thru. November.
BAND MATH:
Playing the right note
+ at the right time
+ while moving to the right spot
+ with the right step size
+ while watching the drum major
= MARCHING BAND
Last year the winner took home over $30,000!
MARCHERS HAVE SUPER POWERS:
Knowing exactly where "4 steps outside the 40, 2 behind the front hash" is supposed to be.
