The Mantra for the weekend? "IT'S MAY!!" The Renegades take it up a notch and learn drill for the beginning of Niner Two - version X, which features the corps marching in three separate tempos - all conducted by our fabulous Drum Major, Rachel "Trinity" Grunsky. The guard put together the Matrix, and the horns learned the hauntingly beautiful closer, "Tears in Heaven," by Eric Clapton.
