On Friday, September 20th, the 7th and 8th grade band students joined the high school Marching Raider Band for the annual Middle School Band Night. Nearly eighty middle school students took the field with the high school band for the halftime show of the high school football game against rivals Bellefontaine.
Before the halftime show, the students had put a lot of work into preparing the music and moving their feet to the beat! On Tuesday, September 17th and Thursday, September 19th, the middle school band students joined the high school band for after school rehearsals in order to have the best halftime show possible prepared. Not only did the students work hard to memorize where and when to step off and play their music correctly, but they also had a lot of fun! Different instrument sections got the opportunity to get to know one another and to work on some marching basics.
Finally, after all of their hard work, roughly two hundred of the combined middle and high school students took the field for their halftime performance. The first song they played was an arrangement of the SpongeBob Square-pants theme song, followed by an arrangement of Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple, and wrapped up with the Benjamin Logan Fight Song.
