Band Day is coming, and
we'll take the field once again to relive some of the best times of our
lives. We'll see old friends, play the old songs, and perform at half
time, watching ourselves on the 'Tron while thinking, "Damn, we are still
pretty good at this!"
Well, a lot of that
credit will go to your skills, of course, but producing the show from scratch
to finished product requires some hard work by some dedicated Alumni... our
section leader volunteers. Just like in the LHB, we depend on them
for on the field leadership that allows us to put a show together, ready
to perform, in two hours. We never know exactly how many Alumni will show
up on Saturday, and the massed band drill is only a rough sketched, but we have
to fill in the details on the field. Without the
experienced section leader corps to help teach the show, we'd never get it
done.
For those regular
volunteers, thank you for serving again. If you haven't stepped up before, now
is the time to do your turn. Don't worry if you haven't been a LHAB
section leader before, you'll be doing just what you've done before. I
want to especially encourage our younger members to volunteer. First, it
is a great way to meet people, a great way to get involved in LHAB, and we'll
need help learning the newer LHB styles of marching!
If
you are interested in volunteering as a Section Leader during Band Day, you can
email me directly at siharmon@aol.com or sign-up as a
Section Leader on the Registration form. Thanks to each of you for volunteering
again, and we’ll see you at Band Day!
