South High School in Downers Grove and the Marching Mustangs continue to be well represented in a variety of marching activities beyond District 99.
During the week of August 11-13, the Drum Corps International Championships were held in Indianapolis, Indiana. Alums Brad Jones (Cavaliers,) Sam Bottorff (Scouts,) and Jessica Colip (Colts) performed and competed among the best marching ensembles in the world. Marching Mustang staff member Scott Oliver spent the summer touring with the Madison Scouts, working as part of the Scouts visual tech team. Returning South student Megan Schreck spent the summer performing and competing with the Colt Cadets from Dubuque, Iowa.
South High School Bands alum Tim Neumann is also trying out for the All-American Marching Band at Purdue University. Tim can be found at the end of this short video link:
