All week long, Andalusia High School’s marching band — A Sound Tradition — has been hard at work at band camp to get ready for the 2014 football season.

With drum sticks in hand to provide a rhythm, Andalusia Middle School band director Catie Stevens was instructing the band on proper techniques, from marching forward a certain amount of steps to marching backwards a certain amount of steps on Thursday afternoon.
