4th place in class AAA competition at the Youth in Music Championships

The Youth In Music Championships have quickly become one of the premier marching band events in the Midwest, and the 2019 field contest promises to be the biggest in the event's history. The YIM Championships will be held in the brand new U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis. Join us on Saturday, October 12, 2019 for the fifteenth annual event.
