2015-2016 Marching Band Show

 

 

The Witching Hour

 

 

This year’s production visually and musically represents the time period of one hour.  Each quarter hour is represented by one movement musically.  Visually the field will be transformed into the illusion of a clock face.  The visual focus for each segment of the show will be located in the quarter of the clock that is being represented.
