The Creekview High School Marching Grizzlies marching band recently was named the Grand Champion Band at the Sound of Silver Marching Invitational competition, which is the first marching championship in the band’s history.
The Marching Grizzlies earned the highest score of the competition (95.9) out of all 25 competing bands. Stephen McCarthy, director of bands for Creekview HS, credits this win to the “tremendous work ethic and spirit” among the students, staff and parent volunteers.
“This is a huge honor for a band program, but is particularly special for Creekview, as it marks the first marching championship in the band’s history,” Principal Dr. Adrian Thomason said.
