                                 By: Dylan Morton


                                                               Marching  Band.  It's  the  one  of the  only sources  of
                  Sounding  Synchronized: Bon Jovi
                                                          music for the fans to  listen  to  during the football
                  songs inspired  the band to perform
                                                          games.  This year the  Ralston  High  School  Marching
                  the song  "You Give Love a Bad
                  Name.                                   Band  played  the  rockin'  music  of Bon  Jovi  to
                                                          entertain  spectators  in  attendance.  “ My favorite  song

                                                          is  probably Living on a Prayer,”  Brian  Davis  reveals.
                                                          “ It  has  lots  of different variations and  is just fun  to
                                                          play.”

                                                               The  members  of band  are  always fierce about
                                                                 rming. When  the  RHS  Marching Band  performs,
                                                                are  in  sync with  each  other.  Rarely  EVER,  do
                                                          they go  off tempo.  You  could tell  they  put a  lot  of

                                                          practice  and  determination  into their performance.  In
                                                          the State Competition  they played with  minimum
                                                          errors.  That's why the  RHS  Marching  Band  will  always
                                                          "Make  a  Memory."  Most  members  said  they plan  on

                                                          doing  marching  band  all  four years  of  high  school.
                                                          "It's  harder than  you  think," Zach  Jepson  says.
                                                          "Marching than  walking."  If you  see  the way they
                                                           performed  at  the  state  competition,  you  would  believe
