Today is the annual Showcase of Marching Bands at Ragin Cajun Field in Lafayette! If you have never experienced this event, it is a must see. There are over thirty high school marching bands that perform starting at 8 o'clock a.m. and it doesn't end until late tonight with an award ceremony.
These high school students have put in a lot of hard work and determination to put on an approximate ten minute show. They have spent many hours practicing in the hot sun, marching even though they had blisters on their feet. They learn teamwork and discipline. The outcome is amazing!
I was able to go and watch about half of the bands perform. These pictures don't do it justice, but you will have an idea of what this event is. It's wonderful to see the support and pride from all of the band parents in the stands. Both of my sons were in marching band, so this brings back many wonderful memories!
