LHS Band Attends Troy Band Day


The Luverne School Marching Band joined 2,300 high school band members representing 32 schools from three states performing with Troy University’s Sound of the South marching band during halftime this past Saturday as the University celebrated its annual Band Day.  The event, which began in 1998, provides high school band students the opportunity to experience performing at the collegiate level. “Band Day provides high school band members a chance to come to TROY to be a part of a Division I football game and perform at halftime with the Sound of the South,” said Dr. Mark Walker, Troy’s associate director of bands. “It is a great recruiting tool for the band and the entire University.”  LHS Band and the other bands took part in a rehearsal Saturday morning with the Sound of the South. The bands then took part in the Trojan Victory Parade and the team’s Trojan Walk.
