Trenton High School concluded its marching band and color guard season competing at South Callaway High School in Mokane, Missouri.
The event was called the Missouri State Marching Association Festival and organizers report a group of band directors came together to form the association. Saturday, October 29th was the first statewide festival. In the future, organizers hope to sponsor marching festivals across Missouri so groups may be on the same sheets heading into state.
The Trenton Golden Bulldog Marching Band concluded the fall performances with a first-place finish in the parade competition, class three, at Mokane. The Trenton band also won third place in the class three field show. The top three in the parade judging were Trenton, Highland, and Fatima.

Trenton R-9 Band Director Anthony Webb described the results as a great end to the marching season. He believes the band is starting the foundation of success for years to come. Webb added the upcoming concert season for the rest of the year will allow the band to continue to make music and grow.
