EVENTS
Although the coronavirus pandemic had canceled the band's 2020 fall competitions, we continued to work hard to learn and grow as musicians throughout the fall and spring seasons. We managed to provide safe online and in-person rehearsal opportunities and held performances in the spring of 2021. We're excited to be preparing for a more normal 2021-2022 school year. In the meantime, here is a review of our 2019-2020 event schedule that shows what a normal year looks like.
HOME SHOW
On Saturday, September 14, Urbana High School Band hosted 18 other bands at our first MMBA (Maryland Marching Band Association) competition of the year. Over 1,000 band students enjoyed a full day of entertainment and fierce competition as the bands battled for top scores in the first ever MMBA show!
