This creative and engaging show resonated with both judges and spectators alike. Reflecting on the preliminary round, Director Geisler remarked, "I think it was our best run of the season." This sentiment underscores the band's continuous improvement and dedication to excellence. The Marching Highlanders have a storied history at the Indiana State Fair Band Day, with this year marking their 68th appearance—the most of any school in the state. Their legacy includes seven state championships, with the most recent title secured in 2019. As the season concludes, the Anderson community celebrates the Marching Highlanders' achievements and looks forward to their future performances, confident in their continued pursuit of musical excellence.
