Hundreds of eager Lincoln Marching Band fans got their first taste of the 2008 show "Spellbound" at moonlit Howard Wood Field on Friday, August 15th. While many caught glimpses of the show at Spat Camp, the crowd did not go away disappointed with the first run through performance.
The show, which prominently features the Rollings Stones song "Paint It Black", is a fast moving show again this year. It is a return to "arranged existing music" this season, a departure from the original scores provided by Jeremy Hegg the past few seasons. Mr. Hegg did arrange the music this season for the band.
Following a cookout, the stands filled up with an excited audience. As is always the case, fans had to sit through the annual fall meeting of the bandparents association before being treated to the show.
While some come just to see the show, the highlight for many family members came with the annual "follow the leader" set. Parents and family are welcomed to the field to try to follow the kids through a portion of their new show. This annual event allows family new insight into the difficulty in executing the season's marching band drill.
