Stephanie participated in one last event to cap off her career with the Hilliard Darby HS Marching Band. On the weekend of Nov. 11-12, the band performed with the Ohio State University Marching Band and OSU Fall Athletic Band at their "Skull Session" before the OSU/Michigan State football game.
Cathy explains: "What is a Skull Session?" you're probably asking. It is essentially a pre-game rehearsal and pep rally held in St. John Arena on campus that is free to the public (so, it's a big deal in Columbus). Since it was a noon game that day, it meant for a early morning for the students however they performed well. The band played a variety of stand tunes, pre-game music and segments from their award winning 2017 show "The Bridge."
Afterwards, a few Darby band students had been selected to attend the football game with two of the band directors as guests of the OSU Marching Band. Stephanie was one of those lucky students! Despite the cold temperatures, she enjoyed sitting behind the band and having special field access during halftime. OSU went on to win the game 48-3.Cathy adds: This was the LAST time Steph (and her fellow seniors) would wear the Hilliard Darby Marching Band uniform! (sniff!!)
