Pre-Game Football players aren't the only ones warming up for Friday games

While football players' warm up is part of the spectacle of Friday nights, the marching band has their own warm up before hitting the field. The band suits up for every home football game, unpacking their instruments, warming up, and getting dressed in uniform while enjoying the sound of some classic tunes and the company of friends.

(Left to right) Caitlyn Wenzel, sophomore, Nicole Polites, freshman, Elizabeth Nicholson, sophomore, Cassidy Cwiertnia, junior, and Alex Cooper, junior, pause to dance before heading to a quick rehearsal with the entire band in the P.A.C.

The band room fills with students every home game night by 6pm. Players grab their instruments to warm up, whether it’s practicing the halftime show or playing along to the background music. It's not uncommon to hear clarinets and saxophones playing to SeptemberDon’t Stop Believin', or Take Me Home, Country Roads.

Oh always gets to the band room at least 15 minutes early for the extra practice time. She enjoys the lively atmosphere and often talks with friends after her warm up, Oh said.
