2013 Band Camp BBQ and Show








Tonight was a great night to be a Mustang, as the football program and the Marching Mustangs shared the stadium turf to present their culminating show and to scrimmage.

Close to 300 friends and family of the Marching Mustangs gathered for a BBQ at which the individual student sections presented section spirit cheers, with the competition being won by the color guard.  After the social gathering, the crowd and band moved to the stadium to present the field show in between the sophomore and varsity football scrimmages.  The Marching Mustangs 2013 Competition Show is titled "Artistry in Time," and features the music of iconic American jazz composers and performers Dave Brubeck and Stan Kenton.  Including selections like Take Five and Blue Rondo ala Turk, this show is certain to be a crowd favorite during the course of the season.

After the Marching Mustangs performance, the JV and Varsity football coaches and teams joined the Marching Mustangs to sing and play the South High School alma mater, a collaboration which will take place after every home football game during  this season.

Kudos and congratulations to the students and staff associated with the Marching Mustangs.  The hard work and long hours invested during Band Camp was evident in the quality of the sonic and visual performance tonight.
