It begins with a lone individual, patient zero, and eventually overtakes the entire ensemble. Join the Highland Scotties as they try to survive the INFECTED.

Jason Rose, Band Director

The show begins with their character being lulled to sleep by a music box, only to realize that she's in a nightmare. Following her nightmare, she experiences a more peaceful dream in the woods along a stream. The show beings in an etherial dreamscape with music from Philip Glass and Eric Whitacre. Our character struggles to wake from this mystical dream and gain consciousness. As she realizes she can control her dream world, we hear the rock anthem "Dream On," and she finally awakens to reality.

Show Description
Join us through music as we march with Dr. Martin Luther King through the year 1963. Our show begins in 1963 with the tragic bombing at a church in Birmingham, AL (Bach "Little Fugue") where we are angry and saddened by these events. We move into our new normal exclaiming "Equal Rights for All" (Ray Charles, "What I'd Say") and then enter a period of reflection (Foo Fighters, "My Hero") where we are hopeful for the future. Finally, we march together (American the Beautiful/We Shall Overcome) alongside Dr. King because we do in fact know that "We shall overcome, someday."

Sy Hovik, Band Director

The Chiawana High School Riverhawk Marching Band and Color Guard are proud to present our 2019 program, SPACE RACE.

July 20, 1969 ushered in a new era in World history as Apollo 11 landed on the moon and Neil Armstrong uttered his famous words. Not only was the moon landing a huge leap for science, it was also a result of an outrageous goal set by a young leader, a renewed sense of exploration and hope, and a common sense of pride for a nation divided by war and civil rights.

We invite you on this journey as we walk in the shoes of American giants through creating a vision, rewriting the stars, and ultimately conquering the challenges of a world beyond our own.

Eric Parker, Band Director

X Marks the Spot is the swashbuckling adventure of pirates, danger, and adventure on the high seas. We hope to entertain and thrill you with everything you'd expect from our wild rebels with a few twists.

We are thrilled to share the field with so many wonderfully dedicated performers. Everyone - instructors, designers, and parents - works so hard to entertain the audience and support crazy band directors with an enthusiastic "yes!" It takes teamwork to get here today. But most importantly, the stars of today - students! Way to go! You all inspire each other to great depth to make our communities better through sharing art and passion. We hope everyone is enjoying the show so far and we plan to set sail here shortly.

Show Title: 5.18

May 18th, 1980 at 8:32AM started the most catastrophic volcanic eruption in recent time, exploding with the force of over 1,600 atomic bombs. The Mt. St. Helens cloud of ash blanketed the region, pummeled the Yakima valley and over the following days circled the globe. US Government officials designated blast zones and evacuated all residents from the area, except for one strong-willed and persistent man, Harry R. Truman. Truman defied the evacuation notices and chose to stay at his home for over 50 years, becoming the most infamous casualty of the Mt. St. Helens eruption. Buried under 300 feet of ash and mud, Truman’s Mt. St. Helens Lodge, and Harry Truman himself, are now entombed forever under the newly formed Spirit Lake.
