Fine Arts
This past fall, the Greyhound Sound took the field at stadiums across New Mexico, performing songs from the band Metallica.
Why was the Greyhound Sound rocking out to a heavy metal band that has dominated the hard rock scene for the last forty years?
This past year, Metallica announced the inaugural marching band competition for Universities and High Schools, titled “For Whom the Band Tolls,” with over $180,000 in prizes to be awarded. Seven prizes are available: one Collegiate Division 1 prize, one Collegiate Division 2 and 3 prize, three High School prizes, one Fan Favorite – Collegiate prize, and one Fan Favorite – High School.
