1942
1942
The year 1942 was a crazy time for our country. We had just been launched into W.W. II courtesy of the attacks on Pearl Harbor and our country saw things such as sending good men off to war, death, a revitalized economy, USO shows and more. What was America's perspective on all of this? That's what this show is all about. This show was originally designed for the Columbians Drum and Bugle Corps in Pasco, Washington and has been since adapted to fit a high school marching ensemble.
