Marching Band

Mountain View Marching Band Sweeps Division
Tyler's band won all awards for their division, best music, best percussion, best color guard, best general effect, best marching, and 1st overall. They also won 3rd place in the sweepstakes which included all the bands in the competition. Mountian View is in the 5A small division meaning large school, small band. The first two places went to 5A large.


This is a picture of the whole band with the color guard. This picture was taken in Oregon while they were on their competition trip. Marty chaparoned and had a great time.



The show was titled Equinox. It represented musically and visually the fall equinox. Here you can see the fall colored silk backdrops they used.
The music was from the beautiful scores of "A Beautiful Mind" and "Signs".
Near the end of the show, the season changes and so do the colors. The band formation is a snowflake and the backdrop colors change to wintery colors.






Jason, Tyler, and Alan (Jason and Alan are twins). Check out the eyebrows.
