MHS Band History and Development
MHS Band History and Development
During the marching season, the band performs at many parades, games and regional competitions. In the recent years, the band has won accolades for its creative and difficult programs. The culmination of 1999 marching season was the appearance of the band in the 2000 Tournament of Roses Parade. Mayfield currently has two concert bands that begin with the conclusion of the marching season. Each of these bands has performed well at various local and regional music festivals and has consistently earned superior ratings.
The band also has Jazz Bands that perform throughout the year at events such as the ROTC Charity Ball.
The Winter Guard was formed 1999 and has performed well both locally and at the Winter Guard International Regionals in Denver, Co. Mayfield’s competitive indoor color guard uses a combination of flags, sabres, mock rifles, and other equipment as well as dance and interpretive movement to create a unique story-telling experience.
The most recent addition to the band is our Winterline. Mayfield’s indoor percussion ensemble consists of a drumline (also known as the battery) and front ensemble (also known as the pit). They combine elements of music, marching, and theater to produce an auditory and visually appealing performance.
Coming together as one unit, the MHS Winter Guard and Winterline form our MPACT standing for "Mayfield Percussion and Color guard Troupe"
