As graduating senior Briana Rohlfs enjoys her last season as a flutist in NC’s marching band, she reflects on what it takes to pull off a successful performance. “There’s a lot of emphasis on being a part of a team because if you’re not there it ruins the whole form.

NC Marching Band members prepare for the annual Cobb Exhibition happening later tonight. Junior Vicki Zitsch studies the schedule, as she mentally plans out how to finish all her homework before arriving to the event. “Cobb Exhibition is really cool. They split it into two days where half of the marching band performs on the first day, and the other half performs on the second day. You get to go and watch other school’s marching bands perform, and then we’re going to perform our own marching band show in front of judges who give us feedback on how we can improve,” Zitsch says.
