Bandsman of the week The Bandsman of the Week Spotlight is on Kayley Laubhan of the color guard. Question: How does the color guard work? Is that a part of the band? Do you play instruments also? Answer: We are still a part of the band so on Friday nights, the entire time, we are in the stands playing our instruments with the stand tunes, but during halftime is when we go ahead and participate in the color guard part and after marching season is over, we play our instruments for concert season. Question: What does the color guard do? Answer: Color guard is really amazing because we interpret the music through movements and really show how it all comes together with the way we move our flags. This year we have a lot of cool props and we’re doing flips in the air and sometimes we get to have rifles, so it just brings it all together. Question: The show this year is “Crazy Train.” What’s the coolest thing about that? Answer: We just started doing Crazy Train, so we don’t have that much done yet, but we have a lot of small movements that go to the exact beat and Ethan (Strunc) is going to have a really cool, creepy part in it. Question: What else are you involved with at Howe High School? Answer: I’m in a few sports. I’m
Kayley Laubhan in volleyball and powerlifting. I’m also a part of One-Act as well as Wingterguard. Question: You’ve had a lot of success in One-Act over the past several years. Answer: We have had many hours dedicated to One-Act. We spent some much time coming together and getting to know each other. Being quarantined sometimes can be hard, but we just all tried to come together as one and focus on what we can do to progress as the year comes. Question: What’s the difference between Color guard and Winterguard? Answer: Winterguard—pretty much anyone can join, and we don’t have the band playing. It’s just a soundtrack and you go to different schools and compete on a floor of the mat and it’s just one movement to one song.
