South County High Marching Band Preps For Halftime

Photos: Four songs, hundreds of steps.

The  band and color guard are hard at working preparing for their four-tune halftime show performance, and have spent the last few weeks learning hundreds of steps.

Stained glass is the theme of this year's performance, and the songs include "Blue Cathedral" and "The Engulfed Cathedral".
