Five other schools will be coming to perform including Oil City returning the favor as well as Cambridge Strings, Conneaut Area, Girard and West Middlesex. Titusville band director say he relies on over 100 volunteers to pull this night of entertainment off. "Our inaugural festival last year was a fantastic evening of entertainment that went very smoothly and we are looking forward to welcoming visitors back to our community," he said. "There are a lot of dedicated directors and students making great music in our area and it’s nice to provide a non-competitive venue to showcase their efforts." Each school will highlight their halftime routines all involving a theme. The Rockets theme is “LOUD On The Set!” "It is comprised of songs that seem to be standards on movie director playlists when they’re searching for something to kick the excitement level up in a memorable scene," Vinson described. "This weekend the 52 member ensemble plans to open with Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song”. They will follow that up with The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” and close with AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”. |
