2024 Marching Season 
What an amazing  season! The year brought big changes to the MVHS band, most notably a new-but-familiar director at the helm: Douglas Green. With new roles, new instruments and new opportunities, our staff and kids did a fantastic job – culminating in a strong showing with their "Good Knight" routine in the quarterfinals of the State CBA competition in Colorado Springs. We are rightly proud of them! 

Parades: Two big parades bookended our season -- Western Welcome Week in August and Parade of Lights in December. Both events let the kids show off their marching skills for appreciative crowds. Now if we could just average out the weather between the two! :) 

​Football Games: The MVHS football team had a phenomenal year, the band was there for it all. From halftime performances to keeping the crowd pumped, Friday night lights are favorite and memorable band activity. 

Chili Cookoff: The Chili Cookoff was a big fundraiser as a part of Homecoming Week activities. Parents brought their favorite chili recipes and students got to sample and vote on their favorites. 

BOPA Shows Up! BOPA members were a huge part of the successful season: Manning the concession booth at Halftime Help Stadium, raising funds in a car wash or two, installing a new shed to house equipment, hauling equipment, keeping kids cool after summer band camp, and celebrating our seniors at the end of the season. 

Competitions: We call October “Band-tober” because of all the competitions, games and marching opportunities. The kids performed "Good Knight" at Douglas County Showcase, Legend Marching Festival, Douglas County Marching Invitational, and CBA Metro Regional Qualifier – and you could see them improving each time. 

​Placing at State: The band earned a spot in the CBA state competition and came in 16th overall. Competing at the Air Force Academy is an amazing experience and the kids were inspired seeing the top bands in Colorado.
