Congratulations to our very own Pride of the West Marching Band, their students, staff and parents for a historic evening on Saturday night! This year's marching band program entitled “Out of the Blue” proved to be the perfect show to deliver the school's first ABODA State Marching Band Championship! The Pride of the West also earned special caption awards for the Most Outstanding Visual, Auxiliary, General Effect, and Musical Performance and the highest score, a 96.941, in the history of the State Marching Championships!!

It was a clean sweep for them this year, and the first time Mountain Ridge has taken State in school history!
