State Marching Competition

The Mesa High Band has won the state championship again along with 4 captions - Visual, General Effect, Percussion, and Auxiliary.    They did an amazing job and my kids can proudly say they are 2 time state champions.
Trophies - score of 80.825
The ride to the State Championship started off with a bang - literally.  I was sitting on the bus with the kids when the tire blew.  It was almost the same place as our bus accident last year.  Mr. Brooks just had all the kids pile up in the same bus.  It was cramped full of kids, but they arrived early enough to get some practice time.

This was an amazing show about hopes that parents have for their children.  It was neat to see Mr. Brooks enter the field with the band with his son on his shoulders.  What a great beginning to the show!!

The band saved their best performance for the state competition and did an amazing job.  They won their state championship again, second time in a row.  The also won all captions too.  It was an amazing show and I'm so proud to be apart of it in a small way.  Congrats to the MHS Marching Band!!!!
