VENICE (SNN TV) – If you want to know what makes the Venice High Marching Indians exciting, co-drum major Cole Duncan can tell you.

“It’s just an awesome experience to be able go on the football field, like the lights coming on you, and then to play that show out there,” Duncan says.

And contrary to popular belief, the time commitment isn’t terrible.

“Mondays and Wednesdays aren’t marching band days, so you have time to do your homework and get it done,” says Duncan.

But if you want to know how much the program truly touches a student, you might have to go to a senior like co-drum major Faith Henry. She’s been through it all – her freshman year in 2019, the socially distanced COVID performances in 2020, a return to normalcy in 2021, and now her final year, and the realization that the marching band years are marching away.

Cole Duncan and Faith Henry are co-drum majors for the Venice High Marching Indian's 2022 season.
