Marching Band 2009-10

Drum majors, Rachel and AnnaThe drum majors for the 2009-10 Foxboro High School Marching Band are Rachel Fuller and Anna Opatka. The music for the half-time show this year is a selection from Steely Dan, a popular 1970s band that blended jazz, rock, funk, and R&B. Their keystone members were Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, and their arrangements often featured a horn section. Their lyrics were sometimes labeled "cerebral" and "eccentric," but their melodies and harmonies became ingrained in a whole generation of music enthusiasts.
