Real March Madness

With March Madness right around the corner and this year’s Final Four being in our very own back yard (NRG Stadium), we would like to have some fun with some real March Madness.

The United States Marine Band, “The President’s Own”, is having a March Madness of their own.  Starting March 7, voting begins.  Two marches will go head to head each day.  The march receiving the highest votes will advance to the next round with an eventual championship.  This is a really fun activity and a great way to listen to some of Sousa’s and other composer’s marches.  A few of them we have played or will play in Wind Ensemble.

To download and fill-in your bracket, click here.  You should save it, print it, and turn it in to Mr. Williams.  You can also submit it to the marine band.  Details for this are on the marine band web page.

There may even be some prizes or gifts for those who participate!

Parents can participate too!
