For a group that has played in China, in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in New York, this was a big thrill.”It was a little more stressful then I wanted it to be, but once we got to the sign, we started playing,” said Andy Soucy, the band’s director. “I thought the kids played really well, really strong, and we were the largest high school band there.”
