Although school won’t start officially until Aug. 19, hundreds of Plant City-area students already have put in many long days at their respective high schools.
The marching bands at Durant, Plant City and Strawberry Crest high schools all have been busy preparing for a new season of football games and weekend competitions at their band camps. The musicians all took to the practice fields and black tops to learn new music and drill for the upcoming shows.
Plant City’s 2014 show is titled, “Home Front.” It will be a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Star-Spangled Banner, as well as depicting a memorial for the 75th and 100th anniversaries of World War II and World War I.
