The "season kick-off" meeting that the entire Warwick Marching Band had been anticipating for so long finally hit us, and brought with it some exciting news.
This year's show is entitled "The Machine". And although the season just started, we've already received a good deal of information about the show. There will be a heavy focus on the visuals, with the color guard starting off in a bland, gray costume, and being covered in assorted "wreckage" (things like screws, bolts, and wires - which will also appear on certain band members), but will transform within "the machine" (which will be placed somewhere on the field, along with other large structures that need to be built) to a brighter, purple costume.
We got to listen to the entire show, and although we will be making some changes, it is quite intense, and will definitely rival last season's show, "The Rise of The Samurai Warrior".
The wind section has already received the opener music, and we will begin practicing in order to give 100% this upcoming season.
The band also received the entire season schedule. Seen below are the dates for our competitions and football games (practice schedule will be posted shortly).
