Performing their show Dimensions featuring the music of composer Brian Balmages, the Marching Mustangs earned a spot in the finals of the highly competitive Lake Park Lancer Joust this past Saturday, September 12, 2009. This is the first time the band has earned a performance spot in the finals since 1992.
The band was tied for 7th place out of 24 groups after the preliminaries during the daytime. During the evening, the band rose a spot to 6th place out of 10 bands that performed in the finals. "I'm simply exstatic." said junior trumpeter Josh Baade.
