Nicholas

The Eagle Classic is the traditional start to the competition season for the marching band. It's generally the point where the band has the full show (music and marching) ready to perform for the area competitions. It starts early with an all-day rehearsal culminating in a full-dress performance of the show for the families at The Nest (Len Bauer Stadium on campus).

Nicholas is heading off for marching band "away camp" in Frostburg MD and his first trip by himself away from home in another state (he did do a week in Randleman at Victory Junction but that was only 90 minutes away as opposed to nine hours and two states and a district down the road).
