Marching to the beat

Canton Mighty Eagle Band kicks off year 

The Canton Mighty Eagle Band is now in full swing, preparing for the upcoming 2017-’18 school year with their new 2017 marching show entitled “Shades of Blue.”

The show derives its name from the fact that all of the music has blue in the title. The music includes two pieces from the Blue Man Group, Blue Rondo a la Turk by Dave Brubeck, and Blue Shades by Frank Ticheli.

This year's show proves to be as challenging as ever with fast paced movement and a lot of energy throughout the program. Mike Bartley, Director of Bands said, "The tempos of this show are always quick and there is not really a down moment anywhere. The students are going to be challenged and will definitely be in great shape by the end of the season."
