Fresh Faces

One of the best parts about the months leading up to each new marching band season is the opportunity to interact with incoming freshmen and their families during orientation.  We are able to do a short information session about what being a Marching Pirate is all about as well as how to become a member.  As I give out important information, answer the bevy of questions, and practice my attempts at witty banter,  it's always exciting to see the eyes of students and parents alike light up when they hear about this wonderful organization.  In the end, it's the experiences that they are about to share with us that are what creates such excitement and anticipation for old and new member alike.  In a way, it's like welcoming new members into the Marching Pirate family.
