MSBOA DIstrict 16 Marching Band Festival

The 2011 MCHS Mariner Marching Band received Straight 1's for an overall 1st Division rating at last night's MSBOA District 16 Marching Band Festival in Port Huron on Tuesday, October 11.  The MMB nearly earned a perfect score, with 8 out of 9 grades as A's.  This was, by far, their best performance of the year.  Congratulations to the 2011 MCHS MMB for an OUTSANDING performance!

Check out the Times Herald article.  4 of the 13 pictures are of the MCHS MMB!

Quote from the article...  "For Lisa Elsholz, of Fort Gratiot, Marine City High School's performance of Elvis Presley songs was the best of the night."

 

PERFORMANCES ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL BAND STUDENTS:   We study music from the perspective of an instrumental performance ensemble, so the actual performance is an essential part of the experience and can not be duplicated at a different time or by a different assignment.  Students - mark your calendars and attend all required performances.
