Metallica Set Second Annual Marching Band Competition
Metallica have set their second annual marching band competition for colleges and high schools.
For a second year, Metallica will award tens of thousands of dollars to high school and college marching bands that perform their songs in creative ways. “Together with our sponsors, we’re going to award over a quarter of a million dollars in brand-new gear to the winning high school, college, and university marching bands from around the U.S.,” drummer Lars Ulrich explains, while Robert Trujillo encourages the musicians to make the performances impressive and creative. “Good luck to everyone and remember, ‘Time marches on,'” Kirk Hammett bellows into a traffic cone — the same one that James Hetfield used to start the video — as he quotes the band’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”
