This past quarter, OHS Marching Band participated in several different marching band competitions around Illinois, such as the ISU competition, the Morton competition, and the Normal West competition.
The band teacher, Mr. Kyle Brubaker decided this year to have his marching band competition theme show called the Love Story. The Love Story theme is from West Side Story and the Romeo and Juliet Ballet musical and plays.
According to Mr. Brubaker, “The Love Story theme for our marching band competitions this past quarter had a good turnout.”
At the Normal West marching band competition that the OHS Marching Band participated in, they had received awards for 1st place in class and best winds section out of the whole competition. The students of OHS Marching Band were very happy of their accomplishments.
Another marching band competition that OHS Marching Band competed in was at Morton High School. The OHS Marching Band had received an award for third place in their class at this competition.
Michelle Dial, an OHS Marching Band student, said, “My favorite marching band competitions that our group competed in this year were at Morton High School and ISU because there were so many different bands there and they were very fun.”
The OHS Marching Band’s last competition that the students participated in, was at ISU in Normal. At this competition the OHS Marching Band received an award for eighth place in their class for the day.
Many students that were part of the OHS Marching Band are very excited for the new season to start in the summer of next year. Anyone can be a part of their group for next season, all you need to do is signup and join!
