James Clemens band to perform 14th annual “Sounds of the Stadium” on Thursday evening
MADISON – An out-of-the-ordinary and entertaining evening will unfold for the 14th annual Sounds of the Stadium, featuring the seasonal shows and music by James Clemens High School Marching Band and its auxiliaries.
This popular event on Nov. 6 opens at 6:30 p.m. in James Clemens Auditorium.
“Sounds of the Stadium is a highly energetic indoor extravaganza with the band, color guard, dance team and drumline performing all of the marching band and competition band’s tunes and routines,” Julie Thomason said. Thomason is Ticket Coordinator for Sounds of the Stadium.
“It is a very unique event and definitely a crowd favorite. You will not want to miss this event,” Thomason said.
Members of the audience are welcome to attend the Silent Auction with quality merchandise and helpful services. In addition, a dessert reception in the cafeteria will offer delicious cookies, cake and pastries for the audience to enjoy.
“Our Sounds of the Stadium event is unique in that in brings the Friday night football atmosphere inside to the beautiful James Clemens auditorium,” James Clemens Director of Bands Keith Anderson. “The audience gets to experience the football stands’ tunes, cheers and singalongs in an ‘up close and personal’ way.”
“Plus, hearing the halftime show and competition show in the auditorium is something everyone loves,” Anderson said.
“I think the students have always enjoyed the Sounds of the Stadium concert because it’s something different we do than most other bands they know of,” Anderson said. “And just like the audience gets to see them up close, they get to be closer to their audience and that’s always a thrill.”
At Sounds of the Stadium, the band will be performing the music from their 2025 football halftime show entitled “Dance Mode” featuring the music of Earth Wind and Fire, Whitney Houston, Bluey, and more.
They will also perform the music from their award winning 2025 competition program, “American Mosaic: Music That Made a Nation.” America’s musical history tells the story of different cultures struggling side by side to find their place in a still very young nation. Whether it was the folk song, the dance, the hymn, or the spiritual, voices sang out to tell each other who they were and who they longed to be. This mosaic of human expression reminds us that music will always be a part of our story.
