This is a great band.”The band successfully defended their title on Saturday, Oct. 31, at the MHSAA-sponsored championship competition at Northwest Rankin High School.This is the band’s sixth state title since the program began in 2011. Harvison said the kids worked hard to “tune out the noise” and concentrate on this year’s show.“I like to say the only band that can beat the Germantown band is the Germantown band,” Harvison said.In a notable outing, the band took fourth place in the 2026 Bands of America Memphis Regional held on Oct. 24 at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. The GHS band competed against 27 high school bands from across the country.This year’s show took audiences to the desert with music from the “Dune” movies, the Sean Connery film “The Wind and The Lion” and a ballet titled “Sampson and Delilah.”The band was decked out in sand-toned colors. Harvison said band staff even painted the shoes the band would wear.“This is the first year we had head-to-toe costuming,” Harvison said.The band spun illusions by waiving banners during the performance and the show concludes with a massive 7,200 square foot sheet of fabric that seven members of the band would unfurl from sideline to sideline. Harvison said the goal was to create scene where the football field would disappear and “reality and illusion collide.”The GHS band put the show to rest last Thursday with an encore performance at the Germantown High School Stadium. Harvison said they look forward to tackling the concert season before preparing for next year’s marching season.</div></body>
