SURPRISE: Strongsville Marching Mustangs WOW fans at the Browns Stadium!

Strongsville Marching Mustangs play Olympic music for the half-time show at the Cleveland Browns game!

So here I was on Thursday evening reading the local paper and commenting to my husband on the Strongsville High School Marching Band not being able to go to their away game due to lack of funds and wishing I had stacks of money to send them. My friend, Nancy, called to say she had some Browns' tickets for the game against the Eagles on Friday, August 24th. Of course, I said yes I'd be glad to go with her.

At the Browns' stadium, we had 14th-row seats on the 30 yard line. Nancy noticed that there was band in green and white sitting in seats in the back of the end-zone area. I pondered that it might be my alma mater, the Mayfield wildcats, who have green and white uniforms. It never occurred to me that it could possibly be our own Strongsville Marching Mustangs until they were announced at half-time.  What an incredible surprise (kudos to whomever arranged this!!). The full band came out and played awesome Olympic music.  They looked and sounded terrific! Hooray for the band director, the drum majors, the flag corp and each and every member of the band. If a gold medal could be given to a high school band, I would certainly give one to all the champions in the Strongsville Marching Mustangs!
