The mighty Avon Marching Black & Gold had another season for the record books this fall. They brought home their 18th Indiana State Championship and their 6th Grand National Championship. They now the only marching band in the country to three-peat twice. To honor the nearly 300 students who march in the band — along with the dozens of directors and hundreds of parents and volunteers who make the program hum — the Town of Avon declared Friday, December 12, as Avon Marching Black & Gold Day. To honor the Marching Black & Gold's success this season and their tradition of excellence, Dr. Wyndham has a conversation with Director Matt Harloff and AHS Seniors/Drum Majors Avery McDavid and Daniel Rieger. Find out how the band has grown over the last 30 years, what goes into creating a successful band program, what the students' schedules look like during band season, and what lessons and experiences students are carrying with them beyond their time at AHS. Stick around for behind-the-scenes stories from last year's (rainy and cold) trip to New York for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
