Competitive Synopsis: 2019 FMC

Congratulations to ALL the bands, ALL the kids, and ALL the parents and fans who loaded their gear and headed out to represent their schools on Saturdays during the fall of 2019!  The cool byproduct of all the life lessons we learn in marching band is a really cool marching band show, and a marching band competition is where we get to go show this product to an appreciative audience and our peers, and make memories that we will remember for the rest of our lives!  There is NOTHING better than to be young and in the marching band!!!

Here are the results of the Fabulous Marching Cavaliers’ competitive forays in 2019.
