The Band
One of the things I noticed here in Edina is that the marching band is more fascinating than most. Because I live within blocks of the football field, I hear them practicing regularly, and sometimes see them perform at a game.
Last year, I was surprised to see the homecoming queen, two members of the court, and a football player (in his football uniform, having played the first half) marching as part of the band. Then, last night, there was a new twist: cheerleaders in the band.
I suppose that some might see this as another sign of teenagers multi-tasking, but I think it is pretty cool, in a Glee kind of way.
