The Panther Press Maysville Band 'Dreaming' Of New Contest Show Markie Dunn, 12th grade
New school year; new contest show! Maysville Band Director Patrick Murphy has done it again. This year’s show, titled Dreams, is expected to be an exciting account of the realm of dreams and nightmares alike. "We wanted to play Metallica’s 'Enter Sandman'," Murphy responded, when asked how he came up with the idea for Dreams. "There were options: do an entire show of hard rock, an entire 70’s show, etc.… What we settled on was Dreams, building on the child’s nightmare that 'Enter Sandman' is based on."
"I feel it was a great start for the season," says band director Patrick Murphy, referring to the August 24th halftime, shown above.
The band officially kicked off their season on August 24th with a preview of Dreams during the football game's halftime. "The band represented the school community and themselves very well [at the game]," says Murphy. "I feel it was a great start for the season." The band will have their first contest at Cambridge High School on September 15th. Murphy states, "We have been working hard all summer and are expecting a good show." The Panther Press sends its best regards to the band as they continue their season. Good luck! !
