Details

The award-winning Macomb High School Marching Bomber Band will host its 9th annual March-a-thon performance on Saturday, September 6, 2008, beginning at 11:00 am on the inner ring of the Macomb Downtown Square. Members of the Marching Bomber Band invite music enthusiasts and all other members of the community to join them in their first fundraising performance of the year.

The band will open the event with a concert at 11:00 am. The entire band will march around the inner ring of the Square as many as ten times beginning at approximately 12:00 noon in an effort to gather per-lap pledges and other donations. The afternoon's program will draw from a list of longtime band favorites—including the main title music from the motion picture Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and the Macomb High School song—as well as selections from the band's current field show, "Asian Reflections."

The band has invited local celebrities to march around the Square with them and invites any and all members of the community to join the marching for a donation of any size. Participants may bring their own instruments, play kazoos provided by the Macomb Band Boosters, or simply march along.
