Herndon High Marching Band Back in Session
Sudents are back at school a month early to start work on fall show.
Thursday marked the second day of band camp for freshman marching band members.
HHS Band Director Kathleen Jacoby said there are 120 students in the marching band this year.
The fall 2012 marching show is called Songs of the Northern Seas, full of music with a Celtic-Irish theme. The music includes selections from How to Train Your Dragon, Riverdance and Lord of the Dance.

Herndon High School's band camp takes place throughout the month of August; the last two weeks, beginning on the 20th, will include theme nights. In the evenings, students will dress up in themes such as ninja night, neon night, twin night and hat night.
