Warmups and Lot Tunes:

This year we are trying something new and are going to play "In the Lot" before the games. This is similar to what college bands and corps do before entering the stadium or performing their show. It is a time to get warmed up, to center ourselves, and to show our community what all we are doing! To make these fun experiences for all involved, you must have your music memorized.

Lot Tune: Viva la Vida: scroll to the bottom of the page to find the mp3 track. Batterie - your parts were arranged separately from the origial track, which is why you do not hear your part in this recording.

Lot Tune: Big Adventure: scroll down the page to the Sound Cloud track. There are no batterie parts at this time.

Lot Tune: Joe's Jam: this tune is batterie-only cadence. Front ensemble, you will not have a part to this tune. Old video, but good run of the cadence.
