Harrison High School Marching Band at UConn
The Harrison High School Marching Band traveled to the University of Connecticut where students had a great experience learning from college musicians and professors, gaining perspective of collegiate music participation, and interacting with high school bands from Connecticut and New York. Husky musicians joined bands and faculty from 9 other high school marching bands at an 8 am rehearsal with the UConn Marching on the Pratt and Whitney Stadium Field. Students participated in sectionals to refine their music performance, learned the march-on logistics of the halftime show, and then participated in a full run-through of the halftime performance. They watched the game and performed in the halftime show before returning to Harrison after an exciting but long 12-hour day.
