First, the drum section needs to know the cadences by practicing individually and working together after school.
During rehearsals, the drum cadences tie together several tunes into the marching routine.
Several rehearsals insure the band knows the music.
Many students start to know the tunes by memory.
And next comes the outdoor preparation.
The band went outdoors during several rehearsals to march the the Jewell Streets close to the school.
Finally Summer comes, and it is time for the
Scandinavian
Day Parade
