The Marching Warriors Give Impressive Performance at the 2nd Annual MW Marching Band Exhibition #207Now #marchingband #colorguard @mainewestband @mainewestfab

 Congratulations to the Marching Warriors on their tremendous performance at tonight's 2nd Annual Maine West Marching Band Exhibition! The Marching Warriors performed their show, Mythos, for a supportive and enthusiastic audience of family, friends and fans. 

A team of respected clinicians watched and listened, recording invaluable feedback to share with the band to help the students continue to improve their performance this season while they gear up for their next performance at the Lincoln-Way competition. Thanks to tonight's clinicians: Lawrence Rogers (marching-individual), Paul Wiercioch (marching-ensemble), Alyssa Arkin (music-individual), David Tribley (music-ensemble), Joey Marchese (drumline) and Alan Cheng (pit percussion) for your constructive criticism and excellent coaching!

A huge thanks to the directors of the Marching Warriors: Mr. Bernie Gerstmayr (Director of Bands), Daniel Kent (Assistant Marching Band Director), Bobby Bonslater (Music & Visual Designer and Drumline Instructor), Benjy Krauss (Pit Percussion Instructor) and Desi Rae Stricker (Color Guard Instructor) for all of your work toward making tonight's event happen and for your ongoing work with the students.

An event like this requires the help of many people. A tremendous thanks to the many, many parents, caregivers and fans volunteering with the Maine West Fine Arts Boosters tonight who were instrumental to tonight's event! You all are truly FAB!
