SOUTHWEST ORANGE Each year before school starts, some students are back before others, braving the heat and spending hours perfecting their musical skills. Olympia High’s band members returned to campus a couple of weeks before school started to learn and put together their fall marching band show. Throughout band camp, students worked in small groups, took to the field to practice footwork and marching, and did so much more to perfect their show.
