The annual Turkey Supper and Indoor Show is a fall tradition that brings the Brandon Community together. Celebrating its 60th anniversary, the Turkey supper wasn't just about the delicious food but the showcase of the Brandon Valley’s musical talent and community spirit. Students, families, and neighbors packed the PAC making it an unforgettable lineup of performances and a closing for Brandon’s Marching Lynx final showcase of this year's phenomenal show, Coursing Through My Veins.

 

The evening starts with a turkey dinner–served by the band parents. The aroma filled the whole room, and excitement built up for the show. The Indoor Show starts with the percussion opening the show with the addicting “Please Please Please” by Sabrina Carpenter, bringing a fresh, upbeat vibe to the area. Next, the Marching Lynx Trumpet line was brought in to play the Star Spangled Banner, and after the whole band played Brandon’s school fight song while the audience clapped along. The Marching Lynx brought high energy with their cover of “HOT TO GO” by Chappell Roan. The catchy beat, and the saxophones doing the signature Hot-To-Go dance, made the whole experience so lively. “The Chase” by Michael Story, played by the 8th grade band, pulled the audience into a suspenseful, high-speed journey. With the quick rhythms passed around the band, the 8th grader's impressive skills and potential have brought excitement to the crowd. 

 

“My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,” also known as “America,” is played by our Marching Lynx with the combined 8th-grade band under the direction of Issac Fode. Finally, the color guard closed the first segment of the indoor show with an outstanding number. 

 

Coursing Through My Veins explores the intensity of raw human emotions, representing the struggles of modern life. Each piece reflects a different aspect of vulnerability, with music choices emphasizing chaos, anxiety, and resilience. In the finale display, the audience cheered loudly for the spectacular moments on display. All is thanks to Beth Josephsen and the band parents for dedicating so much to making this marching band season an everlasting experience.
