Mighty Marching Maroon competes in rainy area contest
Bowie High School’s Mighty Marching Maroon competed in the area marching contest this past Saturday battling cold and rain, placing 14th out of 24 bands in the competition.
Director German Torres said while that was “Not necessarily where they wanted to be,” ending the season in the preliminaries, the students persevered through some unwanted conditions.
“They marched like champs being the first to compete Saturday. They took on some extra duties that we had not practiced throughout the season,” he said. “We are extremely proud of these students and look forward to continuing their journey this year,” said Torres.
They put up tents, covering everything in plastic, marched in ponchos and did it while trying to keep rain out of their faces added the director.
The director sent out appreciation to Robert Frick, junior high director, and Shawna Torres, choir and flag director, for their hard work in many areas. He also thanked the parents who helped with props, provided snacks and more. The band will now begin work on concert season with that competition in the spring.
