The final flights arrived Wednesday, Dec. 29, and students went early to rehearsal at the Sheraton Fairplex, an indoor rehearsal venue booked after rainy conditions prevailed in Anaheim on Wednesday, Dec. 29. Matt Henley, assistant director expected the group to rehearse all afternoon, have pizza and then rehearse additionally as needed. Tomorrow (Thursday, Dec. 30), the band performs its field show at the Tournament of Roses Bandfest, which can be seen online by purchasing an $8.50 webcast. A portion of proceeds benefit the band.
