Marching madness 3 Valley bands hope to strike right chord “We developed a more competitive show,” he said. “We hired an arranger who arranged the music especially for us.”
“We’ve had a good season,” he said. “It’s a step in the right direction.” Mr. Hosterman gives all the credit to the musicians for their hard work. “We compete at 8:52 a.m. Sunday morning, so we’re leaving Milton on the buses at 3 a.m.,” he said. Shikellamy High’s bands have a long tradition of excellence, said band director Scott Carey. “The kids like the thrill of competition,” he said. “It runs in families at Shikellamy.” Mr. Carey said the Marching Braves have 85 members, including their color guard. Their performance is titled “New York State of Mind,” and includes New-Age jazzy style music, he said. The scenario is a 24-hour day in Manhattan, with the music depicting sunrise, traffic, a night club and a wild taxi ride. The Marching Braves will step off at 7:16 p.m. at Delaware State. The three bands have been engaged in longtime friendly competition, Mr. Wagner said. “We’ve all known each other for years,” said Mr. Hosterman, a Mifflinburg graduate and former member of the school’s band. “There’s great camaraderie among the three of us,” he said. “We’re all good friends. We help each other out.” n E-mail comments to wlaepple@dailyitem.com.
