“I had the opportunity to march with this ensemble in Pasadena and it was truly an amazing moment for music education. The level of publicity and support I felt for the band community gave me a huge sense of support and recognition for all that band directors do for their communities. I am so excited to represent the Beavercreek High School Band in this momentous event!” Marsh-Myers said.
The band will be directed by nationally known music educator and innovative band director Jon Waters.
