Pierce Marching Band Soars High
by McKenna Shonka
The Pierce High Marching Band traveled to Kearney on Saturday, October 20 for a NSBA State Marching Contest. The Pierce High Band placed a Division 1 Superior. They performed as a Class C school. There were 24 bands in all. Director Michael Sindt said, “We got some great comments from the judges. The percussion judge was impressed with how mature our percussion line sounded.”
Pierce band members and directors were able to watch two or three bands, which impressed them. Sindt mentioned the Lexington band particularly. Later, they played laser tag for a marching band award, which was a highlight of the day.
Michael Sindt said, "The band really stepped it up for the last event of the year, earning their goal of a superior rating. What a great and fun season we had!"
