Join Castle High School for the 34th Annual Castle Marching Band Invitational! -Todd Glass

34th Annual Castle Marching Band Invitational

The Invitational contest gives area marching bands the opportunity to perform in a competitive environment before ISSMA-sanctioned contests begin in a few weeks. It also acts as a fundraiser for the Castle Band Boosters, which supports the band financially. For band members this is a great chance for them to continue gaining confidence when performing.

Bands Performing in Competition:

South Spencer H.S., Reitz Memorial H.S., Boonville H.S., Southridge H.S. (Huntingburg), Evansville Central H.S., Evansville Harrison H.S., F.J. Reitz H.S., Evansville North H.S., Muhlenberg County H.S. Kentucky, Madisonville H.S. Kentucky, Union City H.S. Tennessee, and performing in exhibition--the Castle Marching Knights.

Why is the band program important?

Music is a multi-faceted activity that crosses into all other parts of the curriculum. Math, reading, foreign language and the physical arts. This activity reinforces skills utilized in many of the students’ other classes.

Castle will compete at the Bands of America Tennessee Regional competition in Clarksville on September 19th.  Castle is the defending Regional Champion from last year’s contest, which was the first BOA Regional Championship in the school’s history.  Castle will be defending its title against dozens of marching band programs from Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and elsewhere.

Castle will also be competing this year in the Bands of America Indianapolis Super Regional in October.   There, over 90 bands from all across the country will be competing.   Last year Castle earned rights to compete in the Finals Competition where they placed 10th and they are hoping for a higher placement this year with their Archangel competition show.

This year’s show is entitled “Archangel” and is an original composition written exclusively for the Castle Band program in three movements:  Gabriel the Messenger, Raphael the Healer, and Michael the Protector.  With dazzling color guard costumes and the largest band program in a decade, the Castle Marching Knights are poised to gain on their successes from last year.
