2008 Marching Band

The Brunswick High Marching Railroaders invite you to travel with them through a musical narrative of The American Voice. The American Voice chronicles themes common to America’s national history using American-only composers such as Aaron Copeland, Roy Harris, and Eric Whitacre, as well as quotes from American leaders and artists. Listen for four distinct themes of historical movements: inspiration, conflict, despair, and fulfillment as American folk tunes are woven throughout the storyline.

The Railroaders are led on the field by Drum Major Chris Haugen.
