• Best Music
• Best Percussion
• Best Guard
• 1st Place Overall

Best of the Best Guard

We’re so proud of our students and the work, patience, and heart they’ve put into this show. To our directors, staff, families, and volunteers: thank you for all the ways you help them get to the field, ready to give their best.

A huge thank-you to the Summit Marching Spartans for hosting an amazing competition and sharing an outstanding performance! Your hard work and hospitality made it a wonderful day.

Congratulations to every band that performed. We know how much goes into those minutes on the field, and it was a joy to celebrate your work alongside ours.
