Marching in the Spotlight - Olivia Leif

Every fall, the city of Concordia bundles up against the crisp night air in the bleachers of Harold M. Clark Stadium to watch the Panther football team in action. Though the game is always enjoyable, I consider another type of play on the field to be more interesting.

The CHS Marching Panther Band is something to see. Yes, I am the Drum Major, making me a bit biased, but I believe that coming to the game just to see the band is worth the cold toes no matter who you are. This year especially will be a show that you won’t want to miss. The Marching Panthers are performing the show Grease: The Musical. It is a fun and energetic show that everyone will love. After only two weeks of school, the band has all of the music down and they sound great. The trumpets are loud, the saxes are sassy, and the piccolos are right in tune. On top of that, the Color Guard routine is coming together wonderfully and the girls are excited to show off their official “Pink Ladies” jackets while the Drum Line struts their stuff as the “T-Birds”.

If you are not into the football scene, that’s fine (I really don’t understand it enough to be either). Come to the game anyway. Support the team, cheer when everybody else does, and go back in time to when Grease was the word.
