To the editor:
On behalf of the members of the Mifflin County High School marching band, band parents, MC Music Boosters and the band staff I would like to thank local media outlets and the people throughout Mifflin County who have supported the MCHS marching band this fall.
It has been truly gratifying to hear the applause and cheers of people every time the band takes the field to perform, whether it is during a football game or at a band competition.
The pinnacle of the season for the band was this past Sunday at Hersheypark Stadium during the Tournament of Bands Group 3-A Atlantic Coast Championships. Because there were so many Mifflin County supporters in the audience it felt like performing at a home game. The audience engagement during the show energized the band and helped them perform better.
The reception at Mifflin County Middle School upon our return to Lewistown was absolutely phenomenal. I would like to say a special "Thank You" to Mayor Deb Bargo, Fire Chief Bob Bartlett and anyone else who organized and participated in the "Victory Parade" with a police escort and fire trucks from across the county. The parade was the perfect ending to our day.
Without the continued support of the community, what the band has achieved would not be possible.
