On Saturday, October 25th our Grammy winning MCHS Grizzly Band took first place again at the annual Selma Band Festival. This was their 5th Gold Medal out of the last six years. Last year the Grizzlies won a Silver Medal. Rod Fiester, Grizzly Band director told the band members: “What an awesome day for the Grizzly Band and Color Guard! First Place at Selma for the A Bands Category. It was truly a superior effort that was led by our tremendous musicians/auxiliary and assisted by our incredible coaches, parent drivers, assistants and boosters. We scored 4 percentage points higher than last year. That is outstanding growth! As Dr. Smith's sons Ian and Sean conveyed last December, all Dr. Smith wanted was for the band to continue its tradition of demonstrated excellence and you all certainly are on your way to fulfilling his wishes. Bravo, Grizzly Band! Looking forward to the Central California Band Review in two weeks.”
Mariposa, as you can see the MCHS Grizzly Band continues to honor the Mariposa County High School, the community of Mariposa and the Sierra Foothills. The Grizzly Band will once again honor all of you in the Central California Band Review this month in Merced. On Tuesday, December 16th, 2014 the Grizzly Band and the Middle/Elementary School bands will perform their Annual Winter Concert at the MCHS Richard D. Fiester auditorium. Mark December 16th on your calendar and make sure you get there early, because the concert will be a sellout.
The Mariposa County High School Grizzly Band is honored to once again represent the community of Mariposa, the State of California and honor American Veterans and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
