High school football teams and bands have been hard at work, despite the high temperatures, preparing for the opening of football season. It's a good guess that no one worked harder than members of the Redan Blue Thunder Marching Band. Push-ups, sit-ups, laps around the field and, of course, drills were all part of training. Patch caught up with the Blue Thunder as the end of a grueling two weeks of band camp was in sight.
