Band rises with the sun at morning practice

Members of the Green River High School marching band spend their mornings practicing on the football field.

The group practices marching in formation and playing songs heard at the high school's home athletic events.

As they play and march, Band Director Quinn Kalinski and his assistants help fine tune the band's performance

While most people think of morning practices with the high school swimming programs, the morning practices give the band an opportunity to run through their routines.

The morning is the only time the field is open to the band, as it's otherwise being used by the football team after school.
