“Above the Clouds” took a turn from the performances traditionally put on by the North Gwinnett Band. The show, which was drawn up in concept by former assistant band director, Mark Kapral, was splintered by his unexpected and sudden departure. The framework was then picked up in the off season by staff who scaffolded an entertaining show for performers, though sometimes hard to follow from the press box. Visually, the show has the same vibe as their 2018-2019 show, “Shine,” however there is no simultaneous musical and visual climax in “Above the Clouds.” The Bulldogs looked and sounded phenomenal on the field under the instruction of Band Director Rudy Gilbert.
