Final Dress Rehearsal

Thursday November 22, 2012






In the world of theatre or any other performance art medium,  rehearsal is essentianl to any excellent final performance.  Therefore, The Blue and Gold Marching Machine headed for Herald Sqaure at 2:00 am  with vitatlity, discipline, and control. There was nothing more glorious than to hear the sound of the  North Carolina A&T State University band warm up  in the streets of New York City. It was simply beautiful. Each section separated into groups to ensure that everyone was on the same page. Adminstrators, Faculty and Chaperones who accompained the band on the trip proudly watched from the side lines as the band prepared  for their big day.  When the drum major whistled for the fourth time, everyone was attentive and ready to practice performing for the camera.  All lights, eyes, and ears were on the band and the production manager said, "That was great you guys, let's go back and get another take, be sure to make the mark." Everyone followed suit and performed with just as much energy as  they did before.
