Season 35 is beginning, and the MMO is up for a winning season. Here's the digs:
Sterling Silver Drum Corps
SSDC presents their season 35 show, "The Hendrix Experience," featuring the music of guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. Songs such as "Purple Haze," "The Wind Cries Mary," and "All Around The Watchtower" will be featured, along with a colorful and wacky visual experience communicated by our color guard!
We're hosting the Sterling Drum Corps Competition on June 8th, so send in your applications as places are limited.
Marching Ironsides
The Marching Ironsides are gearing up for an excellent season, likely their best yet. Preseason rehearsals have been way ahead of schedule, promising some excellent performances of their season 35 program, Beatle's Roll. This show inspired by the Beatle's will feature all the great rock and roll hits, especially and mostly "Yellow Submarine."
The Marching Ironsides are again hosting the seasonal East Coast Marching Music Festival, which grows larger every season, this time with 25 spots, so head on over to apply! The ECMMF occurs mid-season on June 22nd.
Silver Color Guard
The SCG is preparing again for a successful season, again demonstrating their intense skill with equipment and creative show themes. This year we are presenting "Space Oddity" by David Bowie, an equally humorous and moving piece which will provide a great backdrop for some stunning visual effects.
The SCG is again hosting Flags on the National Mall, a unique performing experience in front of the Capitol of the USA! Sign up for this limited spots competition on June 7th!
Bronze Drumline
The Bronze Drumline will again be stunning with their intense visual and musical skill. This year they present Horse Food, an exciting western journey based on horses and food, strangely enough.
Sign up for this season's Bronze Battle, an event which proves to be an exciting drumline event every season. This is its fifth season, so it shall be greater than ever! Bronze Battle occurs on June 28th.
LEAGUES
BoFe
The MMO will continue to host competitions within the Bands of Iron league. If you're looking for a solid marching band league to join, request an invitation from deadlybacon7 or any of the members of the Board of Directors.
