This is my 5th year back in the URI Marching Band.  Everyone in the band is so smart and talented.  We work really hard and the results are amazing.  I wish I could post the field shows. I'm honored and thrilled to be part of this incredible organization! Everyone is super talented and dedicated.  I am so grateful for all the memories!!

This show was taped on my iPhone so the quality isn't the best but it's pretty decent.
