As Marching band and Color guard had their last competition on Oct. 24 (a competition in which they placed eighth out of 30 teams), they were satisfied with their season as a whole.

“This year’s season has been a lot more fun than any other season possibly because we performed more challenging material this year,” senior Ryan Block said.

With many of the members of color guard and marching band being seniors this year, the members were hoping for a truly amazing season which was exactly what they got with a little practice, hard work, and a great mix of people. One of their high points was when they achieved the Golden Show, one of the highest honors in band competitions, in one of their performances.

“I am so proud of the band this year,” Band director Jeff Moorman said. “They hit the golden show once this year which is what really matters. They were together emotionally and musically. It’s called the Golden Show because everyone is on the same page and the crowd is really into it. We had people standing on their feet that weren’t even there for us.”

As the season has come to an end, and for seniors their last competition ever in high school, it is something that senior Deanna Wohldmann will greatly miss.

“I’m going to miss the random things we would do at competitions, but I know that the seniors are leaving it in good hands”, Wohldmann said. “If anything, the skill level might go down a little, but they will just rebuild just like they do every year.”

Auditions for winter guard were held on Thursday Nov. 5 in the band room. Drumline auditions are going on all this week after school.
