You Wish You Were a Higley Knight …
The year 2022 was certainly history-making for the Higley Marching Knights! Under the leadership of Mr. Sharp and Mr. Cheatham, the Marching Knights had some pretty amazing experiences to say the least …
In May, the Knights proudly played a medly of patriotic music in the National Memorial Day Parade down Constitution Avenue in Washington DC. Among the many historical places they visited during their 5 days in DC was the grave of John Philip Sousa, “The March King.”
The Marching Knights performed a stellar show this year entitled The Quest to the Island of Gold. The latin-inspired music and stunning visual effect came together to produce a truly captivating performance.
The 2022 season closed with the Marching Knights performing at the AIA State Championship at ASU. The band was thrilled to be a part of the Higley Football team’s journey to victory this year – GO BIG BLUE!
Of course the Marching Knights experienced so much more during 2022 than just the above highlights. There was the formation of friendships and the growth of existing ones, the survival of the sweaty bug-infested rehearsals along with lightning/dust storms/torrential downpours, the run-through of a part “just one more time” (which really meant five), the building of section bonds (and the importance of section “babies”), and all those small yet meaningful moments which will stay with each Knight for years to come. Congratulations Marching Knights for a truly memorable year!
