"Flight: Taming the Perilous Skies"

Entering their 13th competitive season, the Irondale Marching Knights are proud to present their 2002 show entitled "Flight: Taming the Perilous Skies". Celebrating the accomplishments of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk and 100 years of manned flight the Marching Knights perform "To Tame the Perilous Skies" and "On a Hymnsong of Lowell Mason" by contemporary wind band composer David Holsinger. They are led on the field by Drum Majors Peter Mauro and Kevin Whalen.

This year the Marching Knights will perform in parades in Shoreview, New Brighton, Stillwater and the State Fair. They will be performing in field shows in Minnesota and Wisconsin and will travel to Dallas, TX for the Bands of America Dallas Regional competition in October. In addition, a spring tour to Hawaii is planned in March 2003 for the Irondale Bands. Irondale would like to thank all parents, friends and administration for their continual support and hard work.
