Mike Lunney's Marching Band Academy - Lesson 8: The Strength to be Graceful
It's the last episode in the Mike Lunney Marching Band Academy series. As we close out this set of episodes, Mike reminds us that before we start throwing too many body moves at our group, it might be good to work on a little core strength. Along with some great suggestions to help your group physically warm up, Mike also describes several of the body movements used in contemporary marching shows. It has been a fun 8 weeks, and Mike goes out with a bang in this episode!
