Royal Raider Regiment Is Back!

SOH band plays at Open House
By Robert Garcia


During open house the Royal Raider Regiment band played. As in the many articles before the band had a total 7 people now the band is up to around 30 plus members. The band overall first performance was a good one, even though we had just really learned the music and had many rookies. The band's two musical pieces were "The Land of 1000 Dances", and "The Victors". The song "The Land of 1000 Dances" was one of the band's favorites because of the upbeat music and the way it just makes you want to dance! And you can tell that the band is going to be full of school spirit when they reached the UUH part in the music and so many individuals were dancing. At the end of the performance we all gave praise to one another and how good they did. "The Victors" was played well even if there were some mistakes. However, that's what the band does sometimes. Pricilla Lopez says to her fellow Mellophone Player "Perfect Practice makes Perfect" The band strives to get better and works hard every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. The band is really excited about this year's season of marching band and concert band! Overall the bands performance at open house was well done and I give it a 5/5
