2018
Marching Red Devils
This performance ensemble provides a “society” and “family” to which all band students can belong. It is a place where they learn values and standards, where they can learn to depend on one another in their pursuit of excellence. They learn about responsibility, doing their fair share, and sticking to a common goal. They learn to value people, respect their peers and not make judgments on the superficial. They frequently acquire a stronger base for their adult life than any other avenue open to them.
The Marching Band performs the half time program at all home football games. The Marching Band season stretches through October and includes performances at the local, regional and state level.
Please read “The Values of Marching Band” for a great description of the band experience!
Please read “10+ Values Marching Band Students Learn And Why You Should Hire Them” for a great read on the values a marching experience brings to an employer.

Directors Abe Barr and Aaron Klausing are rejoicing with the Owensboro High School Marching Band on a successful return to competitive marching band. The Owensboro High School Band qualified October 25th for the KMEA State Marching Band Championship November 1st in Richmond, Kentucky. This will be the first appearance at State for OHS since October of 2007. Competing with the elite bands in Western Kentucky, our OHS Band placed Seventh in the 4A classification. Judges for this event have been selected from the very best music and visual professionals in our region. This fall has been extremely successful with the OHS band placing First in class 4A at Apollo High School in September followed by First in class 4A at Hopkinsville High School in October. In the Hopkinsville Finals competition, the OHS band placed 3rd overall, placing them amongst the elite bands in Western Kentucky. What makes this remarkable is that this is our first competitive season in three years. |
