Band Closes Competition Season at OMEA
Marching Wildcats Earn II-Excellent Rating at OMEA State Competition
In an unprecedented run for a school the size of Deer Park Jr./Sr. High School, the Deer Park Marching Wildcats made its 27th straight trip to Welcome Stadium at the University of Dayton for the OMEA State Band Finals this weekend.
On a beautiful afternoon in Dayton, Ohio, the Marching Wildcats delivered a strong performance in their final showing of the year, earning a II-Excellent rating for the second straight year. The show, titled "The British Are Coming" has been performed at competitions and football games throughout the fall.
The Marching Wildcats began their run with another successful Band Camp more than two months ago, with the ultimate goal of making it 27 straight. On a busy afternoon in late October, the band officially qualified for the State Finals at the Springfield-Shawnee Band Invitational on Oct. 24. That same afternoon, the squad loaded up the bus and traveled to Kettering Fairmont, where they earned their second Superior Rating of the day, and qualified for the OMEA State Finals twice in one day!
The State Finals wrap up another successful competition season for the squad, who will look to make it 28 in a row next fall. Congratulations to all of our students, staff and parents on another wonderful year!
