It’s the night before the annual Band Night Parade, and musicians around the state are tuning up for the event. It’s the 53rd annual parade this year, and many have made it a tradition to participate.
‘He (Aune) said, ‘Yeah, we’ll play this,’” Roberts said.
But then the coronavirus pandemic happened and the middle school band didn’t play it after all.
“That was my first finished piece that looked professional and that I was proud of,” Roberts said. “The name of that one is Middle School Cadence 2020. ”
Aune said he will be holding a summer band camp this year in June and the students will be playing the cadence.
“We’re looking forward to premiering his cadence at summer band camp,” Aune said.
