Section Color Night – Monday
The Trojan Marching Band will continue our long tradition of
“Spirit Nights” at full band practice during the season. A full list of this
year’s Spirit Night themes may be found HERE. For tomorrow night (Monday,
August 6th, 6 – 9 PM), each member of the band is highly encouraged to wear
clothing (or accessories!) that match the color of their section: Flutes (red),
Clarinets (yellow), Saxophones (green), Trumpets (blue), Mellophones (orange),
Low Brass (white), Percussion (black), Guard (pink). The section with the
highest rate of participation winds a prize, and creativity counts!
