Band students line up to practice marching. "Something that's really important about marching band is looking coordinated and united," senior Ethan Mah said. "So having everybody be able to perform the exact same way is what makes it look so clean."

Band instructor Bruce Wilson motions the band to move forward as they practice marching through the general layout of a football game. "Playing while marching is really difficult but it gets easier with total focus during practices," junior Ethan Fisher said.

Freshman Jaclyn Woo, sophomore Ellie Pratt, sophomore Christopher Willis and sophomore Gavin Hudkins practice marching with their instruments. "Normally, we arrange like instruments together with symmetry across the band in order to have the right sounds come out when and where we need them," Duchastel said.

Senior drum major Beatrice Duchastel gives orders as she leads the group through drill downs. "For all of marching season, I'm going to be conducting," Duchastel said. "It's a lot of responsibility but I love doing it."
