BOA & Marching Season Celebrations

Dear Glenn Band Fans,

Congratulations on an amazing marching band season! We are so proud of our 2022 Grizzly Band. This past weekend at BOA San Antonio we finished in 38th place with a score of 80.1 - this is the highest placement and score at BOA San Antonio in the history of GHS!

More than 80 bands competed at this show, and it is widely considered to be the most competitive and challenging show in the country. This is an incredible finish for us competitively and more importantly, this was the best show of our season! The band was all smiles coming off of the field and we are so glad that they had their best performance!
