CapPride preparing for 2010 Columbus Pride Holiday performances
Rehearsals are underway, as the Capital Pride Marching Band prepares to make its 8th annual appearance in Columbus Pride Holiday festivities. Artistic Directors Leigh Briggs and Michelle Holly have lined up an exciting repertoire that will feature parade numbers We are Family, to follow suite with Stonewall-Columbus' 2010 theme "Celebrate Our Families," and the patriotic march National Emblem. Pre-parade and festival stage performances will build from We Are Family into the band's very own rendition of "That '70's Show." Highlights will include Carry On My Wayward Son, I'll Be There, Hawaii Five-O, Nights in White Satin, and more.
