Eureka High School Band, Eureka, IL

2009 Marching Show "Geometries"

2009 Class 1A Champs! 41 degrees and a wind chill of 35 at step off time, the EHS Marching Band gave a great performance at the State of Illinois Invitational High School Marching Band Championships, and repeated as Class 1A champions, along with winning caption awards for High Achievement in Music Performance, High Achievement in Overall Effect, and the Crowd Pleaser trophy. The band ended their season in the evening Finals competition, earning 12th place, and performing their hearts out in the AB for a packed stadium. It has been a great marching season, full of highs and lows and a lot of emotion, and we say THANK YOU to all of the parents who chaperoned our shows, ran the pit crew (wigs rule!), and helped in any way this fall. You're the best!

Our marching band season is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Alyssa Burns, our classmate, and friend.

"Life and death are not separate. It only appears that way." - Blackfoot Indian Proverb
