During a break from their rehearsals for the International Azalea Festival’s Military Tattoo, the 9- piece Marine Corps Boogie Band played for students and staff at P. B. Young Elementary. The marines who “boogied on down” to P. B. Young not only entertained, they taught the children about the instruments and playing techniques. Near the end of the performance, band members took questions from the receptive audience. The performance also met requirements for K-5 music SOLs.
