#072 Madison High School Marching Band GSU Homecoming (by John Shaw)
The Madison High School Soul Rockers of the South marching band from Tallulah, Louisiana marches in the Grambling Homecoming Parade, 10/20/12
This pair of drums was in the window of Reggae Central, a Jamaican clothing and music shop in Charlotte’s Plaza-Midwood district. Directly next door was Mama’s Caribbean Cafe.
I went out to J. P. Freeman Stadium Thursday night to catch the Oakhaven-Mitchell game, and I was impressed by the musicianship of both bands, but especially Oakhaven, a band I had not heard before. Their repertoire includes both traditional marches and current hits, and they play cleanly and in tune. Memphis TN, 9/27/12
