Rae Branch gives Miles Schneider a high-five as he makes his way down the line of Belchertown band members during a practice last Friday morning at the school. The band is practicing for a parade held at the Belchertown Fair in mid-September, as well as upcoming football games. “We have been really lucky this week with the weather,” said Ryan Caster, the band director. “I’ve had weeks in the past that were in the 90’s.
