Band starts competition season

Congratulations to the EHS Marching Band for placing 1st in Class 2A at the Washington Panther Invitational on Saturday, outpacing Metamora, Tri-Valley, and Lincoln.  Despite the obstacle of not being able to rehearse together for most of the school year  due to the stadium renovation, the band worked extremely hard from 9 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday in preparation for their performance, and did a great job for their first show this year both in front of an audience and in full uniform.  You can see their next performance of “On The Edge” at this Saturday’s football game, and then again later that same night at the Pontiac Indian Showdown at 7:55 p.m.  The band is led on the field by drum majors Mark Crenshaw and Amanda Wright.
