A scary success

SYRACUSE - The Carrier Dome was haunted this weekend, and these ghouls made a whole lot of noise.

The Auburn Maroon Vanguard marching band competed in the New York State Field Band Conference championships Sunday afternoon. The band placed second, standing out with a haunted field routine that featured players dressed as the living dead instead of the typical military-style marching uniforms.

Skeletons played the drums, vampires twirled the flags and zombies tooted their horns. The routine featured such scary tunes as Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor - a dark, recognizable piece often associated with organs and castle towers - and Michael Jackson's “Thriller.”
