Mia​ ​Fusillo, staff writer

As​ ​we​ ​dive​ ​into​ ​the​ ​fall​ ​season,​ ​the​ ​Marching​ ​band​ ​is​ ​deep​ ​into​ ​rehearsals​ ​in​ ​preparation for​ ​the​ ​competitive​ ​season.​ ​The​ ​pride​ ​and​ ​class​ ​of​ ​New​ ​Providence​ ​will​ ​perform​ ​at​ ​its​ ​first competition​ ​on​ ​October​ ​7th​ ​in​ ​Somerville,​ ​NJ.​ ​​ ​The​ ​following​ ​week,​ ​on​ ​October​ ​14th,​ ​the​ ​band will​ ​perform​ ​at​ ​Metlife​ ​Stadium​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Yamaha​ ​Cup.​ ​Stick​ ​around​ ​for​ ​the​ ​halftime​ ​of​ ​upcoming football​ ​games​ ​to​ ​support​ ​the​ ​marching​ ​band.​ ​The​ ​band’s​ ​next​ ​football​ ​game​ ​performance​ ​is Saturday​ ​October​ ​21st​ ​at​ ​home​ ​as​ ​the​ ​Pioneers​ ​take​ ​on​ ​Roselle​ ​Park.​ ​The​ ​following​ ​Friday, October​ ​27th,​ ​is​ ​another​ ​home​ ​game​ ​against​ ​Brearley.

So,​ ​how​ ​does​ ​the​ ​marching​ ​Band​ ​rehearse​ ​and​ ​prepare​ ​for​ ​these​ ​competitions​ ​and football​ ​games?​ ​This​ ​Saturday,​ ​October​ ​7th,​ ​is​ ​the​ ​chance​ ​to​ ​get​ ​an​ ​inside​ ​look​ ​on​ ​the breakdown​ ​of​ ​the​ ​many​ ​components​ ​that​ ​contribute​ ​to​ ​the​ ​show​ ​as​ ​a​ ​whole.​ ​Anyone​ ​is​ ​welcome to​ ​come​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Fall​ ​Preview​ ​from​ ​2-3:30​ ​to​ ​understand​ ​how​ ​each​ ​mini-section,​ ​or​ ​“chunk”,​ ​of​ ​the show​ ​relates​ ​to​ ​the​ ​overall​ ​theme​ ​and​ ​build​ ​of​ ​the​ ​performance.
