Rather fond of how this puzzle turned out. At first blush, this puzzle doesn’t appear to be themed. Sort of a standard crossword grid you might see used in generic crosswords. But no, there’s theme all over the place. Hopefully, you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Reminder: Marching Bands year TEN began last month! You should sign up today if you haven’t already! Click the above link for a sample puzzle and how to sign up.

There’s also The Hub Crossword (Sunday puzzles by me and Joon Pahk) if you still need more content.

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.

33D – doesn’t Google well. With the second letter of 55A caused me to fail. Oh well – otherwise a nice puzzle.
