Field Show 2011
This year's field show was titled "Mangione Magic," with music composed
by Chuck Mangione and arranged by our very own Jeffrey Edom. It contains
such hits as "Feel So Good," "El Gato de Triste," "Eccano," and "Land
of Make Believe." Our band even took on the challenge of a reverse box
drill in the third movement Eccano, showing mastery of more complicated
drill sets.
