Marching Band Awards
In 2015, the marching band performed at five competitions across the state from Virginia Beach to Harrisonburg. They were undefeated in their size division, sweeping all captions (music, marching, general effect) at each event. They also earned numerous awards in the sub-captions of percussion, color guard and drum major.
From September 21, 2013 through October 31, 2016, the Marching Wildcats were undefeated in their size division. What broke the streak? Coming in 4th place at the State competition; where first place and fourth were separated by a mere 1 judging point!
The Marching Wildcat Band Class of 2016 earned over 80 awards in 15 competitions! These awards include 14 first/best in class; 4 first/best in combined classes; and 2 competition Grand Champion.
