Marching Shows
- In 2003 the band presented the Santana show. (This was not an area qualifying year.)
- In 2004 the Blockbuster hits show used songs from Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean. The band received a rating of one at the competition and advanced to the Area Marching Competition. The show also starred all-state french horn player Meagan Felty as a soloist.
- In 2005 the band played The Incredibles, from the Pixar film. Though not an area qualifying year the band boasted solos from all-region jazz trumpeters Pablo Lowry and Doyle Martindale.
- In 2006 the band introduced The Rise and Fall of Rome by Key Poulan; the show was one of the more challenging in Eustace Band's memorable history, with approximately fifty sets. The band started out a bit rough, but pulled it together and came away with a division one. At the Area Marching Competition the band had its best performance yet, and in the judges and other bands' eyes the best ending.

- In 2008 the band played The Adventures of Superspy. Featuring solos from Brian "Fireman" Herbert and All-Area jazz and concert trumpet player Alex Pharmakis

Famous quotes containing the words marching and/or shows:
“John Brown’s body lies a-moldering in the grave,
His soul is marching on.”
—Thomas Brigham Bishop (1835–1905)
“For my own part, I would rather be in company with a dead man than with an absent one; for if the dead man gives me no pleasure, at least he shows me no contempt; whereas the absent one, silently indeed, but very plainly, tells me that he does not think me worth his attention.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
