The band, under the direction of Jack Malo, traveled by chartered bus to San Antonio Dec. 26-31 to compete in various categories and perform in the halftime show of the Alamo Bowl, which saw the Oklahoma Sooners defeat the Oregon Ducks, 47-32 on Dec. 29.
Approximately 500 high school band students from across the country marched to the tune of “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond. GHS was honored by receiving caption awards for best music selections, best drum major and best color guard. The band also received second place in the parade and field review.
While in San Antonio, band members enjoyed the Tejas rodeo fairgrounds for a barbecue dinner and awards ceremony. The participating students and sponsors enjoyed line dancing, smores galore, and the awards ceremony at Tejas. Band members also had the opportunity to explore the San Antonio River Walk the day before the game, where an Alamo Bowl pep rally took place. GHS was given their own 10-minute spot to perform on the river for Alamo college football fans and tourists.
The band and their sponsors made a lifetime of memories on this trip. Malo thanked the band boosters, band parents, administration, school board members, community members and Gallatin BTC Bank for their time volunteering for numerous fundraisers, support for the fine arts and the generosity of monetary gifts that made the trip possible.
