On Saturday Sept. 20, Oxford, Ohio was booming with gracious, instrumental music played by the schools participating in the Bands of America tournament.

   
    FHN’s Knightpride Marching Band participated in the event. The band practiced their routine since July until they got the music down to the final note. They played an assortment of four songs, each lasting about ten minutes.

    “[The band did] wonderful,” Moorman said. “They are getting there. They made strides over the last week.”
    The band left for their weekend in Oxford early Saturday morning at 5 a.m. They arrived home on Sunday evening at 6 p.m. The band played their show powerfully and enjoyed their successes. Their performance, titled
Transfiguration, received tenth place. Some of the students believe that this is a big improvement
from last year and that their performance will lead to better things.
   
“It was an amazing weekend,” junior Abby Hood said. “We didn’t place as high as I thought we would, but we still placed in the top ten. It was awesome.”
