January 28th, 2011 WESTERN CAROLINIAN Py THE BEST DAMN BANDGANY WHERE Pride of the Mountains members gain lifelong memories from California trip Shelby Harrell, A&E Editor While WCU is very proud of the Pride of the Mountains marching band for their suc- cessful trip across the country to march in the 2011 Tourna- ment of Roses parade, no one has really heard from the members who were able to enjoy the experience. After a fast-paced week of band duties and fun, Pride of the Mountains members now look back on the week and remember it fondly, especial- ly on the day of the parade. Marching in the Rose Parade was an amazing ex- perience, said Pride of the Mountains piccolo player, Elizabeth Robbins. What I will remember the most about the trip was round- ing the corner in the parade and seeing the thousands of people watching. It was jaw dropping. I have to admit I had to quit playing for a few seconds. One of the things Bob told us to do when we were going through the turn was look as far down Colorado Boulevard as possible and see how many people are sit- ting along the sidewalks wait- ing to see you, said Pride of the Mountains piccolo play- er, Kaitlin Saulter. Its the most incredible feeling in the world. Moments like those are what make my love for marching band grow. Ofcourse a six mile march in front of thousands would be exhilarating for anyone and fortunately for the mem- bers it was enough excite- ment to keep them going. As a whole, it was very _tirmg, said Pride of the -Mountains alto saxophone player, Matthew. Rhew. But , it felt pretty amazing to be able to march in the best known parade in the country other than the Macys pa- tade. Aside from the parade, the band members were able to visit other significant Cali- fornia attractions such as The Santa Monica Pier, The Getty Museum, Disneyland, and of course Hollywood. While each member may have had their own favorite place, they could all agree on one thing: the sights were amazing. My favorite place we went was Santa Monica Pier and the beach, said Robbins. Tt was fun, and so beautiful to see: My favorite place was the Getty Museum because of all the great views, said Rhew. It was a_ beautiful place. My favorite place was Hollywood, said Saulter. We got to see the Holly- wood sign and walk on the Walk of Fame. It was really neat to see the names of your favorite stars on a sidewalk. However, many band members agree that more time in-Hollywood was defi- nitely needed. Due to time delays with the busses, the band was only given an hour to explore Hollywood Boule- vard and see the sights. If I could have changed one thing about the trip, [ would change the amount of time we had in Hollywood, said Saulter. It is such a beautiful place to explore and only spending such a short - amount of time there made me sad. Saulter was lucky enough have time to go see the Hol- lywood sign, but not all members were as fortunate. ABOUT THE PHOTOS: More time in Hollywood would have been nice, and I definitely would have loved to have seen the Hollywood sign, said Robbins. I would have allowed more time to walk on Hol- lywood Blvd, said Rhew. I didnt get to take as many pictures as I would have liked because of time limitations. My group only had about 45 minutes, Clearly, time crunches were.inevitable with the trip, but any type of delay could throw off the whole day, which is what happened with the busses and the trip to Hol- lywood. Disneyland was also a big event for the trip, but unfor- tunately, Anahiem experi- enced quite a bit of rain that day, causing many members to seek shelter at the hotel in the early afternoon. Still, some members invested in a poncho and kept trucking on through the rain to have a good time. Going to Disneyland is one thing about the trip that I will never forget, said Sault- er. Despite the rain, just be- ing there was so much fun and | got to spend time with my very best friends. Disneyland was the last event before band member departed six separate ways to fly home to North Carolina. Even though the trip was hectic, the overall trip was successful in giving members great memories that they will - never forget. Overall it is hard to de- cide what the best experience i of the trip would be, said _ Rhew. Everything that we did contributed to a lifelong memory.
