The marching band season is off to a fantastic start thanks to our leadership team, drumline, and color guard! The leadership team created specific and thorough goals to help the band succeed. The drumline and color guard got to work on technique and skills to help with section cohesion.
A special thanks to MHS Alum and current UNK drumline member Evan Porter for sharing your knowledge.
Looking forward to seeing the full band next week starting at 8:30AM in the band room!
August 7th is the 1st Kearney County FFA Alumni Golf Tournament. We are still looking for teams to sign up!
