In October, Hoover High School’s Marching Band emerged victorious at the Alabama High School Marching Band State Championship. The band’s stellar performance earned them Outstanding Color Guard, Outstanding Musical Achievement, and the coveted title of 7A Championship Band. This triumphant moment was particularly poignant for Kathryn Baker, a senior drum major, who expressed her pride in the band’s journey. “I am incredibly proud of our band after winning the title of 7A Band Champs. Our last run of the show at State was incredible, and the feeling at the end of the performance was euphoric. This title means so much to me and the rest of the band because it represents all our hard work and dedication this season,” said Baker. “Without every individual band member doing their part in and out of practice, we would have never been able to perform at the level we did.”
