The evening began with a march around the field, beginning at the “400” sign in center field. Led by the Marian Catholic Marching Band, faculty, parents, students, and supporters circumnavigated the field. Then, the Spartan Band played the Star Spangled Banner with incredible depth, the powerful performance sounding throughout the stadium.
One of the most impressive first pitches of all time. 😱 https://t.co/PA7M4iC9X5

That moment, that performance, left no doubt as to why this band, led by Mr. Greg Bimm, has won so many state and national awards. And continues to do so year after year.
