Ocoee High School Marching Band Showcase Something Everyone Wishes For

BY JIMMIE WILLIAMS

ORLANDO – Let me set the record straight. All of our grandkids that are out of school did graduate. Those were the grandsons. Now our granddaughters are all excited about music, dancing and acting. So now our oldest granddaughter, Ms. Yandi Steadman is playing the saxophone with the Ocoee High School Marching Band. Talking about a wish come true! Wow look at God. You see I love music, dancing and acting, whenever you’re on stage and it shows time, that means something great is about to happen. Ocoee High School Band Showcase was held at the school and it was my first time there, but what an occasion. It was awesome seeing Yandi Stedman on the field and in the auditorium playing that saxophone. I was like wow, as it was something I never done before. I’ve never played in a marching band.
