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:
“What if there’s nothing up there at the top?
Where are the captains that govern mankind?
What tears down a tree that has nothing within it?
A blast of wind, O a marching wind,
March wind, and any old tune,
March march and how does it run.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“One writer says that Brown’s peculiar monomania made him to be “dreaded by the Missourians as a supernatural being.” Sure enough, a hero in the midst of us cowards is always so dreaded. He is just that thing. He shows himself superior to nature. He has a spark of divinity in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
