Oak Ridge High School WildBand earned the top class 5A band spot September 23, 2023, at the Clinch River Classic competition.  The performance was titled “WildBand presents…METAL.” In addition to first place for the band, WildBand received first place for percussion, second place for drum majors and second place for guard. (Photo courtesy Michael Johnson)

This is your last week to order Oak Ridge High School WildBand fruit to arrive in time for the winter holidays.

It’s also your last chance to see WildBand perform its award-winning METAL halftime show during the Oak Ridge football playoff game at Blankenship Field on November 3, a press release said. ”The band had strong 4A showings recently at the Walden Ridge and Foothills Classic marching competitions,” the release said. 

The award-winning band, which has a fresh fruit fundraiser, consistently earns superior ratings and top-ranking placements at regional marching band competitions, while also providing the community artistic enrichment through annual concerts and halftime shows at football games, the press release said.

It said the indoor percussion ensemble and winter guard achieve the highest scores and rankings in regional contests, and in 2022, both made it to the finals in regional WGI competitions. The indoor percussion ensemble went on to achieve a historic 10th place finals finish at the WGI World Championship in Dayton, Ohio, the press release said.
