Data Breach, this year’s Marching Band show, provides a techno-centric routine that tells the story of an unwanted guest — a glitch — in the harmonious workings of data code, Band Director Brian Boron said.

Boron and Nick Krejci, Assistant Band Director, reimagined singer Alanis Morissette’s “Uninvited” from the City of Angels soundtrack. The band also performs “Overture” from Tron: Legacy by Daft Punk, a song from the video game “Halo”, and “In Motion” by Trent Reznor from The Social Network, Boron said. With the help of an outsourced music arranger and a drill writer, Boron, and Krejci connected four separate songs into a single routine to portray a modern theme that would appeal to students.

“[Marching Band] is telling a cohesive story in a time,” Boron said. “In a movie or TV show, you have half an hour [or] two

and a half hours [to tell their story]; Marching Band [only has] between seven to nine min-

Utes.”

To aid the story, the Marching Band introduced props into the routine this year, sophomore Keira Read, Junior Drum Major, explained. The prop includes a screen placed over a frame which will be flipped around based on whatever message the song is depicting at the time, Read added.

The routine is performed at band competitions and football games, Read said. To prepare, Marching Band practices Mondays and Thursdays from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., Read added.

When competing with their routine, the Marching Band community chooses to focus on doing the best they can rather than winning, Boron said.

“I tell [the band] if we win, great; if we lose, fine,” Boron said. “Let’s [try to] march our best show of the season.”
