Our Dragon Pride Marching Band wrapped up their competitive marching season last week. We are extremely proud of all their hard work and dedication. We are also thankful for the outstanding leadership from our Band Director David Hilger and Assistant Director and JH Director Jacob Willing. We are also grateful for the outstanding support of our Band Booster and parents. I'm sharing a season recap and thanks from Mr. Hilger:
And here we are…at the end of the 2025 Competitive Marching Season.
It seems like it was just yesterday that we had our first rehearsal in mid-July!
These young adults have put in many, many hours of work in all types of weather and all times of the day! The growth of this group has been fun to watch as an educator and as a fan!
We want to send a special thank you to our Administration! The support we have as a a band program is amazing! Always checking in on us…making sure we have everything we need & coming to our contests on the weekends…not only to watch and support…but also to help move equipment!
And a huge thank you to our Band Parents/Guardians and all of our fans! We couldn’t do what we do without you! From keeping your kids rested/fed to getting them to early morning and late night rehearsals! And our contest campsite…no words!!
We also would like to thank the Alumni band members that helped us this year in multiple ways!
We hope your are able to come show your support for our Band Seniors and the rest of the Dragon Pride as we perform our show “…for all mankind” one last time at half-time on Friday, October 31st at Conger Field!
