This is what music looks like - The auxiliary team at the high school is practicing hard to give fans a fantastic show at upcoming Dragons football games. During half-time when the band comes out to play a tune, PHS’ auxiliary team is out front providing splendid visual entertainment. Previously known as the color guard, their job is to translate sound into motion by providing flag and dance routines. The purpose is to convey to the audience what sound might look like, because not everyone can hear the band, explained Auxiliary Instructor Rebecca Chadderdon.Damon Howell / Photo
