Saturday, November 3,  the Orange High School Marching Panther Regiment performed at the Cary High School marching band competition, concluding their highly successful season. They placed second overall in class 2a, winning first place in musical performance, second place in general effects, and third place in drumline. The Panthers also won the best pit crew award.

The Marching Panthers received an almost unheard of music performance score, and make Orange proud as they were pitted against grueling competition and competed against many other bands in their class.

When trumpet marcher Jonathan Currin, senior, was asked about how he felt about the performance, and the season as a whole, he responded, "It was a great performance, our best show, and it showed in our scores. I was sad it was my last one, but it was a great season." When asked what he would miss most about marching band, he answered, "I'm gonna miss the family I've grown to love in marching band."

When Band Director Andy Carter was asked about his opinion of the Marching Panther's last performance, he responded, "The students achieved at a high level; it was a fitting end to the season." When asked what his feelings were about this year's marching band and saying goodbye to the seniors, he answered, "The students continually improved and achieved, and improved and achieved. The seniors will be greatly missed-their leadership was a key part of this year's success." When questioned about his thoughts on the season as a whole, he responded, "The season was a huge success, at every level. We had great performance from the students, great support from parents, and great backing from the community."

Sophomore trumpet player Alejandro Munoz summed up his experience when asked about the season. "I loved it; it was great. It [joining] was a great decision, I was proud to be a part of it."
