Lincoln Rails Band

What an awesome weekend, and great way to end a successful marching season.
Friday night we had our inaugural game at the new DMPS Mediacom Stadium. Unfortunately we were rained out before we could perform our halftime show.

Saturday morning we traveled to Waukee and had an outanding performance at the State Marching Contest, receiving a Division I superior rating!!!
Saturday night we went to Ankeny and ended our season with our best performance of the year at the Mid Iowa Band Championships. The band placed 6th in class 4A.

We could not be more proud of all our students, and their hard work throughout the entire season. Our goal was to get better with every rehearsal and every performance, and they did that every single day right up to the last day of the season!!!

A HUGE thank you to the many parent volunteers that helped throught the season. From taking care of uniforms, making spirit packs, feeding the band, loading equipment or assembling props, we couldn't do this without you. THANK YOU!!!!
