The Cedar Springs High School Marching Band travelled to Ford Field on Saturday, November 5, for MCBA State Marching Finals. They received a score of 88.65, their highest score since entering MCBA competitive marching in 2009. They finished fifth in the state in Flight III, making it their best season in history.

In addition to the CSHS Marching Band’s fifth place award, senior Brooke Ross was presented with a $1,500 scholarship from the Michigan Competitive Band Association.

The Cedar Springs High School Band will conclude its marching season with the annual Marching Band Banquet next week, and then move into Concert Band season. Their first concert will be held on December 8 at 7:30 at the Cedar Springs High School auditorium.

Congratulations to the Cedar Springs High School Marching Band for their fifth place finish at State Marching Finals!
