​GRAND CHAMPIONS:  
On Saturday, September 30, 2017, the Chilhowie High School Mighty Warrior Marching band traveled to Lee County to compete in the Five Star Classic Band Competition.  Under the direction of Mr. William Green, the band earned the honor of Grand Champions.  Accompanying this recognition was an over all division -1 rating, and placing first in the categories of general effects, marching, music, color guard, drum major, and percussion.

The Mighty Warrior Band completed a successful week of camp last week. They finished the week off with a strong parent performance on Friday. The students had many obstacles to overcome this week from a new marching style,  to the hot weather, the beginning of VHSL fall sports,  a marching drum line, and a new show to learn. The students just keep their head down and worked all week. They completed the first two tunes with drill and music. They also learned and clean the third tune musically. Mr. Green said "This is the best any of his groups have ever sounded and marched coming out of camp. These students worked extremely hard. I believe the sky is the limit for these students." This is great news to hear since the band graduated 17 seniors last year and earned State Honor Band status. Check out the Mighty Warrior Band at their first performance of the season on August 25th at Chilhowie High School when the Warriors face off against Marion!
