W 092416 BAND BLAST 13 — The Southeast Bulloch Swarm marching band boosters, known as the Big Yellow Monsters, show their love for their musicians after the band's performance last weekend. Any band director will probably tell you that the parent boosters are key to a successful program.

Eleven regional high school marching bands strutted their stuff for one another and their parents during the Southeast Bulloch Band Blast Festival on Saturday, Sept. 24 - with an emphasis on "festival." "It was a festival, not a competition," explained Southeast Bulloch band director Matt Olsen. "Most band contests are based on scores, but we base ours on getting good instruction and having a good time."
