The Buzz Report: The Yellow Jacket Band

Sadie Chism sits down with Lebanon High School Band Director Aaron Stewart to talk this year’s marching show, “A Change of Seasons,” why it works, the music choices (Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and “In the Bleak Midwinter”), and how 150 Yellowjackets are grinding through camp to get ready. We cover the freshman jump to marching band, uniforms and drill, setting a standard that never goes down, and how the band drives school spirit at games, parades, and pep. Stewart lays out what excellence looks like—better every day—and what’s ahead: Sept. 5 home opener at Jacket Stadium, Valhalla at Parkview (first Saturday in October), Osako at MSU, and Maple Leaf in Carthage. Produced with Lebanon Now at Ozark Fiber Studios. #LebanonMO #Yellowjackets #MarchingBand #LebanonNow
