The Monticello marching band is bringing the chill this fall.

Band director Allison Allender says the band year is off to a great start as her Marching Sages will be performing a show called 'Frost' this fall.

Allender is turning to a young core of drum majors to lead the band but she says they all three work very hard and do a great job leading.

The band this year is ahead of schedule from year's past and Allender attributes that to a couple of things. She believes while this is generally a younger group, as we get farther removed from COVID, things continue to return to normal for the program.

Allender indicates this is a very dedicated group but also a fun group with a lot of goals. She says it has been an enjoyable season so far.
