The 2023 Marching Knights kick off the season
The 2023 Marching Knights were certainly hard at work well before the first day of school! Our percussionists and guard members began rehearsing in June, then were joined by their fellow instrumentalists during the week of July 10th. During their 70 hours together that week, the Marching Knights not only made incredible progress in learning their 2023 competitive show (and some of our favorite pep tunes), they also made some lasting memories.
The days were long and the heat was oppressive, but the Knights had some special things to keep them going… dinners from Portillo’s, Salerno’s, Raising Cane’s, and Texas Roadhouse … smoothies from Jamba Juice and Sno from Bahama Bucks … and a fun-filled evening of bowling at Bowlero in Mesa.
The conclusion of band camp week brought senior speeches, during which our 18 soon-to-be graduates shared some very entertaining and deeply heartfelt words. The Marching Knights then took to the field to perform for family and friends and proudly display their accomplishments from the week.
And the performing didn’t end there! The Marching Knights pumped up the HUSD staff as they entered the HCPA last Thursday morning for their back-to-school rally. The Marching Knights also showed the incoming freshmen true Higley spirit during their orientation pep rally on Friday.
The Marching Knights are off to a fantastic start of their 2023 season. Be sure to catch them in action at football games and competitions over the next few months. Go ahead … you know you want to shout it with them … YOU WISH YOU WERE A HIGLEY KNIGHT!!!
