Mt Spokane Marching Band

Mead WA


Members: 124


Program Title: Beacons

The Mt. Spokane Marching Band & Color Guard is proud to present its 2024 production, “Beacons!” Using the physical analogy of being lost at sea and being guided back to shore by a lighthouse, this year’s production depicts the feeling of being lost in other aspects of life and finding the light in your life that brings you back home. The Mt. Spokane Wildcat Band and Color Guard represents one aspect of our well balanced music program. The three Jazz Ensembles, three Concert Bands, two Percussion Ensembles, and Symphonic Orchestra are frequent front runners in local, national, and international competitions. Most recently, the Mt. Spokane High School music program took 1st in several categories at the National World Strides Festival of Bands in Anaheim, California. We look forward to sharing the field with so many talented performers and designers in today's competition. Congratulations to all of the marching bands for representing all of their schools and communities with class!
