As soon as the drumline started up, it was almost as if a link had formed between every band member as we all knew the skills that we had to do and how to execute them with accuracy and precision. It gives a feeling like no other, and I wish that more people can have the chance to experience the same thing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Denman praised the band directors and committee members for their diligent planning to bring the rewarding trip to fruition.
