We've kicked off the 2025 Marching Season. In case you missed it, the 2024 Marching Lions ended a remarkable season competing in the MMBA Marching Band Competitions.
The Marching Lions worked hard throughout the season and earned First Place in Division 1A in addition to Caption Awards at States for Best Percussion, Best Color Guard, Best Music, and Best Effect. We were honored and delighted to participate with so many talented musicians from across the state of Maryland.
Walkersville High School was proud to have hosted our first MMBA Competition at the Walkersville High School last season. We are looking forward to another phenomenal home show this year on Saturday, October 11th. Watch for updates about show times and sponsorship opportunities!

Our mission is to foster a lifelong love and appreciation for music in our students. We strive to instill PRIDE in musical excellence. Through the support of our community, we provide comprehensive and inclusive music education that cultivates artistic expression, creativity, and personal growth. Through a diverse range of musical experiences, we aim to develop each student's unique talents, musical skills, and confidence, while instilling a strong work ethic and discipline. We are dedicated to creating a supportive and collaborative learning environment, where students can explore various genres, styles, and instruments, encouraging them to broaden their musical horizons. Our ultimate goal is to empower our students to become well-rounded musicians, critical thinkers, and engaged members of their communities, equipped with the tools and knowledge to excel in their musical pursuits and beyond.
