State Competition


The Mesa High Marching Band went to defend their second consecutive Division 2 Marching Band State Championship.  They were just a couple points shy and came in 2nd Place  with a score of 82.49.  Their show was amazing and was the only show that received a standing ovation from the crowd.  It was a difficult show and the band students rose to the occasion.  I heard a senior student says this season and show was the hardest out of her four years in marching band.  They are an amazing group of students who have made a name for themselves. Those in the marching band world are talking about Mesa High.

These students have been working long hours since the end of July for this day. Some students have been working months before August. I've been privileged to have the opportunity to watch them progress throughout the season. I'm so impressed with their hard work, discipline, and dedication to their show. They have worked tirelessly and have kept their grades up too.  This was the last time Josh competed in the Marching Band, and I watched the show with a great sense of pride in their show.
