The Mount Pleasant High School Marching Band took center stage at Monday night’s School Board meeting as the district’s Student Spotlight.
Band members performed for the Board of Directors, giving them a preview of this year’s marching show, “Embrace the Moment.”
The performance comes during a busy week for the band, as Mount Pleasant prepares to host the 26th Annual Mount Pleasant Marching Invitational this Saturday at Mapleleaf Athletic Complex.
The Mount Pleasant Middle School opens the evening with an exhibition performance at 5:45. Competition begins at 6:00, with bands from West Burlington, Wapello, Rushville-Industry, Central Lee, Washington, Fort Madison, Oskaloosa, Muscatine and Bettendorf scheduled to perform.
The Mount Pleasant High School Marching Band will close out the performances with an exhibition of “Embrace the Moment” at 8:45, followed by awards at 9:00.
KILJ’s own Ronin Lanferman will be one of the three drum majors leading this years band.
We hope you’ll join us in cheering on our Panther Marching Band this Saturday at the Mapleleaf Athletic Complex.
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students, with children under five admitted free. Concessions will also be available throughout the evening.
