Woodrow Wilson Marching Talk By Monica W. Mark time Mark, Pinwheels, Reverse March, Step-two, Two count step! I’ll show you how to do them if you’d like! These are some of the basics of being in the North Union High School marching band. The school’s entire band director, Mr. Ivan Leavitt, leads all of us in a series of movements and notes. Between NU the Music and Drills during halftime, do you know what happens off the field? On the busses to and back when we have away games? Or what happens in the stands? This is your Marching Talk. BAND This year’s 8th grade members are: Cassandra S. (Flute), Monica W. (Trombone),Meaghan O. (Clarinet), Haley S. (Clarinet), Jennifer C. (Clarinet), Joy H. (Trumpet), Juliann W. (Trumpet), Chelsea S. (Trumpet), Clara H. (Symbols), Brei L. (Symbols). Though every year the band plays the fight song along with other songs; this year we are bringining back the past with musical hits like Sweet Caroline, We Got the Beat and Great Balls of Fire. Additioanlly, to be an eclectic band we have more current tunes like Runaway Baby. Whatever songs that we play you know that we can make you want to get up and dance to the beat. There are several moves that take a lot of work to perform while playing your instrument. One is pinwheels on Great Balls of Fire. Everyone in your line has to be straight and stay on tempo. Other difficult moves are the two count march in Sweet Caroline where you have to stay on tempo but take slower steps. There are several things that people don’t see how we have to work at these things in order to put on a good show. There are some songs that have very little motion and some have a huge amount of motion. that we just need to shoot the cob right into the ground. Let go of what your momma gave you in We Got the Beat. Watch and laugh as you think of things that relate to Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. They at the end of a game relaxes and enjoy the great hit Ain’t Been Good. There are so many moods that Marching Band songs can put you in and i hope that you all get the chance to watch and hear us. ildcat Band Rocks !!!!!!! Interview NUMS Cross Country by Andrew W.
