A Rose Thrown At Any Other Time
For a number of members of the SMB, this is a return to the venue of dreams, whether they performed at BoA or at DCI Finals. Brendon McKinley, a third-year member of the trumpet section, falls into the former category. McKinley performed with Jenison High School, where they viewed Grand Nationals as the “ highlight of the marching season.”
Rivals On the Field, Friends Off of It
It’s always great to be back in Spartan Stadium. As much as the extended break from performing was needed for our mental well-being, life just feels empty without playing our hearts out in front of 70,000 cheering fans.
From Our Past to Our Future
The annual performance at the Grand Ledge Marching Exhibition is one that the entirety of the band looks forward to, regardless of whether or not they performed in this exhibition before joining the SMB. Not only is it a chance to showcase what options are available for marching band members at the next level, but also to perform for our most supportive audience all year.
