New Lenox tuba player to perform at White Sox game<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />
For the second year in a<br />
row, Marian Catholic band<br />
member Kyle Lavin, of New<br />
Lenox, will perform with<br />
others at Guaranteed Rate<br />
Field on Saturday, Aug. 18,<br />
during a Chicago White Sox<br />
game.<br />
This incoming junior who<br />
plays the tuba will march<br />
around the field and play<br />
the National Anthem. New<br />
this year is that anyone can<br />
march behind the band if<br />
you purchase a ticket online<br />
at www.mlb.com/whitesox/tickets/specials#mariancatholic<br />
“I enjoy being part of Marian<br />
Catholic, it’s a second<br />
home to me,” Lavin said.<br />
Last year, Lavin and the<br />
band performed during Star<br />
Wars Night. The Aug. 18<br />
performance will be during<br />
a game against the Kansas<br />
City Royals. The first 20,000<br />
fans will receive a Tim Anderson<br />
bobblehead.<br />
“My favorite experience in<br />
the band was waiting in the<br />
tunnels and then we got to go<br />
on the field for Grand Nationals<br />
in Lucas Oil Stadium,” he<br />
said. “I’ve been in the band<br />
program since I was a freshman.<br />
The work ethic you<br />
have to perform in the band is<br />
going to help me in the future<br />
when I get a job.”<br />
Following a pre-game<br />
tailgate, Marian Catholic’s<br />
marching band, a seven-time<br />
Bands of America Grand<br />
National Champion and<br />
38-consecutive Class 3A<br />
State Champion, will march<br />
into the White Sox’s stadium<br />
with a parade of Marian<br />
Catholic supporters marching<br />
behind them. Any fan<br />
that purchases a ticket from<br />
Marian Catholic will be able<br />
to march in the warning track<br />
parade around the field. The<br />
marching band will then get<br />
the evening started by playing<br />
the Star-Spangled Banner<br />
from center field.<br />
“I can’t wait to walk<br />
around the field at Sox park,”<br />
Lavin said. “Last year, I saw<br />
my family waving to me<br />
from the stands while I was<br />
performing.”<br />
As a gesture of community<br />
support, a portion of each<br />
ticket sold will be donated<br />
back to Marian Catholic for<br />
scholarships and financial<br />
aid.<br />
An added bonus, the first<br />
1,500 fans to purchase tickets<br />
from Marian Catholic<br />
will receive a Marian Catholic<br />
branded White Sox hat.<br />
Win or lose, the night will<br />
conclude with fireworks after<br />
the game.<br />
Kyle Lavin, an incoming junior, from New Lenox, rehearses the National Anthem at Marian<br />
Catholic, where he goes to school. Lavin will join the band on Guaranteed Rate Field on<br />
Saturday, Aug. 18. Mary Compton/22nd Century Media<br />
