Cox Mill band marches in 'Homeland' commercial
From the Charlotte Observer...
If you turn on your television and see what looks like the Cox Mill High School Marching Band, don't worry: You are not "seeing things."
Various members of the Spirit of Cox Mill High School Marching Band were cast recently in a commercial for a new television series called "Homeland." The series will air on Showtime beginning this fall.
Joseph Earp, director of bands at Cox Mill High, explained how they were discovered for the part.
"A simple email ... was sent to one of our assistant principals, Julia Erdie, from the casting company that was involved with the commercial. The lady in charge of casting was in attendance at the Cox Mill Elementary fifth-grade graduation, which the Cox Mill High School band performed for," Earp said. "She was impressed with our band and with our look."
The commercial is running on Showtime and also can be seen on You Tube at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM6oL1Lddts. Check it out.
