Manheim Township High School (MTHS), 115 Blue Streak Blvd., Lancaster, will host its annual Showcase in Sight and Sound, which has been held for more than 40 years, on Saturday, Sept. 28, beginning at 6 p.m. For the past six years, as a member of the Lancaster County Marching Band Coalition, the Manheim Township marching band has been participating in and hosting adjudicated, noncompetitive showcases, with the prior 34-plus years of marching band history as a competitive band.
The Manheim Township marching band will perform its 2019 field show, titled "Fire and Ice." The premiere video of the show may be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcw324dDrkA. In addition to Manheim Township, other performing bands at the showcase will hail from Cocalico High School, J.P. McCaskey High School, Lampeter-Strasburg High School, Lancaster Catholic High School, Solanco High School, and Tulpehocken Junior and Senior High School.
The Manheim Township Middle School band will open the showcase with "The Star-Spangled Banner." Special guest the Millersville University marching band will entertain the audience during intermission. Highlights of the evening will also include a drumline jam and high school senior performers joining the Millersville band on the field.
In keeping with the philosophy of the Lancaster County Marching Band Coalition, participating schools will receive feedback in the areas of music and visual, but with no rankings or numerical scores assigned. Expert adjudicators for the event will include Krissy McMullin, visual; Joe Santoro, visual; Dr. Jim Capolupo, music; and Dr. Robert Spence, music.
