Marching to victory

By Madi Wilcox

Pueblo County High was proud to host the band Showcase on Oct. 8, 2024 at PCHS football stadium. Band teacher Mr. Muller uses this event to prepare his students for the band championship. The band showcase is an event where the different highschool bands come and perform together, displaying both their color guard and musical skills.

Senior Emma McDonald, sound technician, “Before I didn't really know how we did in comparison to the other bands, but after I was really happy that we did so well,”. She expands on this topic “My future plans are to keep improving and taking the judges feedback so we can keep improving and hopefully win state”. 

Freshman Laura Segura, spectator, commented,  “I think the band is a good way to make friends and sounds very nice, and I like the band because our band is very well played”.

The showcase went well, the color guard went smoothly and the sections performed well. Overall County High feels fortunate about the outcome of the showcase.   

Freshman Bentley Chappell, band member, commented, “Sitting in the stands and talking with my friends as well as performing was really fun”.

Band is a way for many students to find their inner musician and it is how many students discover their love for music. There are many different types of  instruments that students can learn to play and love. The band showcase brings much joy to the band students as they become very excited to see how they will do.
