Green Canyon's marching band made history on Friday, Nov. 6, in St. George by winning its 10th straight state championship. The Wolves achieved the longest back-to-back streak in UMEA history with their performance of "Festivity."
The band earned a score of 91.275, narrowly edging out American Fork, which scored 91.263. This result marked the highest score ever recorded at the Utah Red Rocks State Marching Band Championships among the 43 bands that competed in St. George. Green Canyon also swept all four caption awards in the 5A Open division.
Other notable performances included Ridgeline winning the 4A Open title and ending a three-year reign by Ogden. Ridgeline finished with 82.148, while Ogden followed with 80.818. Tooele took third place with 79.635, Mountain Crest finished fourth with 79.179, and Sky View placed fifth with 75.675.
The Cache County School District saw success at the event, finishing with two champions and four top-five finishes. Following the awards, Principal Jim Crosbie provided 300 cheeseburgers, a tradition for the school.
The marching band is scheduled to travel to Indiana for a national competition next week.
