B-U's marching band exceeds expectations in first performance

     On Friday, August 25^th, the Buckhannon-Upshur band had their first performance during a football game against Princeton. They got to show off their skill with the field show, which they’d been preparing for over a month prior. The freshmen were having an especially tough time at first, but they pulled their weight and helped to make a pretty good performance. Sure, everyone had nerves, but once they got on the field, they realized there was nothing to be afraid of. Band director Mr. Friend says, “There were a lot of kinks, a lot of things to work on, but they have potential.”
