kevingamin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 St. Joe’s is going old school with the percussion. Mylar heads AND on slings, though under their uniform jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Miserlou, complete with a soprano soloist who performs with great flourish. Single tenor line breaks out some tambourines and timbales for a quick drum break mid song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Corps just turned to face back stage. Stars and Stripes, so this is the ACTUAL color pre.

kevingamin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Mellos step out and open the next song, Bandstand Boogie with an In The Mood intro. Crowd is clapping along and at least one person in the audience is moving with the music in his seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
