kevingamin Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Mount Vernon High School’s band just entered the stadium, and I’m happy to note that their snare line is playing on tilted snares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Next on the field in exhibition performance is the Nacho Street Band from Columbus, Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Nacho Street Band has definitely Marci Gras vibes. Needs more Hawaiian shirts, though. There’s a few drum corps alumni in the group, as well. Two of them, in fact, are playing on marching brass instruments, along with two Sousaphones laying down a great bass line. Trumpet soloist, followed by a saxophone soloist, really bringing the energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 This is the Nacho Street Band’s third performance today. You wouldn’t know it from how they’re playing. They support and raise funds for the Columbus Ronald McDonald House. Second piece is even more New Orleans style than the first. Sousaphones are even louder than before, while the rest of the band sings “We got that fire, we got that fire!!!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
