…And the 2023 Competition Season Begins!

Even though there was no academic instruction during the second week of Fall Break, the Marching Knights were on campus working diligently to prepare for their first 2023 competition.  In addition to finalizing the last pieces of the show, the Marching Knights had the privilege of working with two esteemed clinicians; James “Hud” Hudson led a music/effect clinic, and Bill Humbert held a team building and leadership clinic.

The Marching Knights achieved stellar results on October 7th at the Pinnacle HS competition.  Not only did they take first place in the 4A division with a score of 71.575, they won all five caption awards!  

At the Mountain Ridge HS competition on October 14th, the Marching Knights scored 4 points higher than the previous week, with a total of 75.6.  This is an amazing score increase in the span of only one week!  The Marching Knights also won the Percussion caption award in their division (even though it was accidentally awarded to Campo Verde – ooops!)

It is so rewarding to witness that the unwaivering dedication of 2023 Marching Knights is yielding much-deserved recognition.  They are on target to have a record-breaking competition season – please continue to show your support for these hard-working students!
