Marching Band

The Madera High Marching Band & Colorguard has made a name for itself, before the school split, the band was located on Madera South's campus. In 2007, the band moved back to its home at North Campus. Since then, the band has received many awards and captions for their talent. In November 2010, the band placed 7th out of their division at the Western Band Association Grand Championships with a score of 80.95.

Famous quotes containing the words marching and/or band:

    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)

    What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)
