The Tyrone Golden Eagle Marching placed first Saturday, September 30 at Mechanicsburg High School. The show had a total of 18 marching bands from the Harrisburg/Capital Region.

The bands from group 1A at Mechanicsburg were: Upper Dauphin High School Walkersville High School, West Perry High School, and Tyrone.

Tyrone received a score of 84.345 with and awarded for high percussion. The TAHS Band is currently ranked first out of 37 marching bands from Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.

“The show went very well and the band is continuing to do well. It was a great experience for them to go out of chapter and see a lot of other bands, especially the larger bands. Even though they don’t compete against them, they get a chance to see other great musicians and programs. The band is doing very well, but other bands could quickly catch up to them if they aren’t careful. They have to keep working hard through the coming weeks and improve as much as possible to keep increasing our score and remain competitive.”
