Good Bye, Good Luck ...

The MMB ranks will be devastated this May when the entire piccolo section and drum major squad graduates. Good Luck to Amy and Rachel as they embark on a summer without band camp! They were the strength that held the band together during rough and changing times. Your experience and expertise will be missed. (You know where we live; VISIT OFTEN!!!)

23rd Annual George Wythe Band Festival

What A DAY! The weather held off just enough to get in a good show, make that 11 great shows! The George Wythe Band said the cheers they received from all the other bands during their exhibition performance really fired them up. It was probably their best show all year.

Thanks to all of the bands that attended. We know the hard work and sacrifices it takes to produce that kind of a product. We really appreciate you taking the time to come to Wytheville to share it with us.

The show once again ran on time. We couldn't have done that without the help of the music professionals and supporters who travel with each band. We would like to have your feedback on the Festival. Email your comments to the Mighty Maroon Band Boosters at or send them to the address at the bottom of the page..

Check out the Festival website. Press Box photos are already posted for each band. Also available NOW are close up photos taken from the sidelines. You can order enlargements of your favorite band member. Check your band's photo page. Also, take a look Behind the Scenes at the George Wythe Bands Festival.
