Bowie’s Mighty Marching Maroon advances to area marching contest
Bowie High School’s Mighty Marching Maroon is one step closer to the state marching contest after its straight-ones performance at Saturday’s contest in Wichita Falls.
The 102-member band now advances to area B 3A Marching Contest at C.H. Collins Athletic Facility in Denton. Bowie Director Aaron Martin said they were ecstatic about the performance.
“They played really well,” said the director, “I don’t want to say it was their best performance, but it was pretty darn close.” Placing in the top four in the finals at Saturday’s area contest will send the band to the state UIL contest. Read the full story in the mid-week News.
