First Performance of 2022
The Higley Marching Knights were set to make their exhibition season debut at a home game but not before a little preparation the night before and a minor delay due to mother nature prior to the game.
Thursday night saw for preparation of getting on and off the field. The Parent Volunteers (Knight Crew) joined the band as they worked through the sequence of getting the podiums and front ensemble in place while the rest of the band marched to their starting positions. A couple run throughs and clean ups were followed by preparation for getting off the field.
Friday night upon us, excitement was definitely in the air, especially for those freshman who were anxiously awaiting their first performance. Mother Nature had other plans. As storm clouds brewed, the band rehearsed inside keeping themselves and their instruments dry and dust free. The storm hit hard with a lot of dust and lightening. Unfortunately with every bolt came a restart of a 30 minute clock before the game could start.
After a moderate delay, the game started and the Knights made their way out to the field. Forgoing their uniforms due to the weather, the marched past the crowd and settled into their home just outside the north end zone. They supported the team playing the fight song and classic stand tunes, and then gave a wonderful first performance during the half time show. Congrats to all the freshman who made it through their first performance and to all the vets who took their first step towards making this a great season!
