We are ecstatic about the year we have had so far. The 2017 Wolverine Marching Band qualified for the 2017 U.I.L. State Marching Contest. The band received a Division 1 rating from all three judges giving them their ticket to state. The kids worked incredibly hard and their hard work paid off. This is the first time in the schools history that the Springlake-Earth Band will be represented at the state marching contest. We could not be any more proud of the students and this incredible achievement. This was achieved under the motto of "TRUST THE PROCESS"!

STATE BOUND MARCHING BAND!

We are very excited to have even qualified for such a high level competition! Our hard work and success kept paying off at the Alamodome! Not only did we finally get to perform our dream performance, we made 4th place in prelims to make finals! We get to march AGAIN! Finals performance came and gone and we stepped it up BIG time! The announcement was made that we were the 3rd place bronze medalist champions! We were all in awe and amazement that our hard work now has some hardware to go with it!

On December 5th, 2017 our High school band lost one of our members. Macey Foley was an integral part of our program and she will be missed very much. She served as our Bassoon Player, Drumline Captain, and Snare Drummer. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
