When Casey and I talked about the SDSU Band night last month, I don't think he really realized what an amazing event it was. HS bands from all over the county come in for the day to rehearse with the Aztec Marching band. Then during the halftime show they perform together. The excitement could be felt as they took their places to march onto the field. Casey had such an amazing time. After the game, it was the KGB sky show which was amazing as well.
If there is one thing I can say about HS Marching band..these kids work hard! Before school even started they were in band camps. They practice in class everyday and also practice Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 9:00. Every weekend is filled with performances at football games, parades and field tournaments. These kids had to actually get a sports physical clearance to participate! The funding for these events come from parents and businesses and endless fundraising as the district does not provide help for that. I am so proud of these kids and I am so looking forward to Casey's performances in the weeks to come. Next up is the Alpine Parade. Its next Sunday for those who would like to check it out!
