Marching Green Pride kicks off grueling summer band camp

AHS band gears up for Friday Night Lights

As summer heats up and football players lace up their cleats, another group of Azle High School students is hard at work preparing for fall under the same sweltering sun — the band.

The Marching Green Pride began its annual summer band camp July 21, launching a season that will feature competitions and halftime performances. But right now, its primary focus is bringing the energy to Friday Night Lights.
