Royal Brigade Prepares for Awesome Year!
Submitted by David Powell, Livingston ISD Band, August 6, 2008

Summer is drawing to a close and we are all making preparations for the coming season.  The drum majors are ready, the seniors are planning to make this the best year ever and we will have a new staff to lead everyone toward that goal.  However, we have another group who has already spent a lot of time getting ready.

The LHS Royal Brigade Color Guard completed camp on Saturday, July 19th. The guard is led by Senior Captain Secret Mitchell and Sophomore Lieutenant Amanda Baker. Members are: Seniors Amber Bowman and Megan Barrow, Junior Lauren Brodie, Sophomore Lindsey Walker, and Freshmen Ashley Barlow and Tangelia Templeton. The ladies learned flag routines to the half time show the band will be performing. Music for the show this year is based on theme songs from James Bond. The ladies also decorated t-shirts for the upcoming Band camp.

Band camp will begin on August 1st at 8:00 a.m. in the high school band hall and is mandatory for all LHS Royal Brigade band members . For more information please call Mr. Powell @ 328-2259 or 327-0850. Band members should also frequently refer to the band website for all information about band camp, uniforms, music, practice schedule, etc.

The band staff and student leaders are all excited about the coming year, and the new opportunities to support the Awesome Lions!!  Band camp will be the perfect beginning to a Superior year, both on and off the field.  Brigade, we’ll see you on August 1st!!!  Everyone else is urged  to come out and support the Lions and the Royal Brigade as we start another successful season.
