Madison Marching Band performed at the LCMEA, which stands for Lake County Music Education Association, band festival in Mentor’s Jerome on Wednesday September 21st. It is one of the bigger events that they come together and do.There was a total of eleven bands in this festival. From other people’s comments the band did a great job performing and sounded really good together as a whole. I talked with Suzy Lausin, one of the drum majors in Madison Marching Band, to get an understanding of what happened during this festival. She explains when preparing herself she thinks everything little detail through. Madison Marching band was different and unique than all the other bands because in their last song “I Love Rock and Roll” they did a dance with the song. It added a fun touch to the performance and made the crowd feel more interacted with the show and performance. The show is organized by size and our band this year went 8th, which is different than usual because they have grown a lot over the years. Overall, Suzy explained, the whole band could work more on tone in volume to better themselves even more. By doing that, the band will excel in greater measures. Their director Brett Tomko helps them with things to make them different and exciting than other bands around our area. He definitely does a good job, as our band is one of the highlights at Madison Highschool.
