Hello Band Families and Friends!
Thank you to everyone who attended the 72nd Annual Music In the Castle on Saturday, October 5th. Several of our bands are in areas that have experienced severe impact of Hurricane Helene and had to change their plans to participate. Our thoughts and prayers will remain with the schools, their families, and communities as they move forward and repair their lives. We missed having them as participants this year but look forward to seeing them in 2025!
Thank you to everyone who extended a neighborly hand to those impacted areas with your supply donations. The needs are many and the needs will be for a long time. However, because of your generosity, we were able to reach out and help ease the immediate burdens of our neighbors. From the bottom our hearts, we thank you.
We are more than just a band
We are a family of hardworking students that make this look GOOD!

Tennessee High’s Mighty Viking Band was presented with the esteemed 2022/2023 Tennessee Bandmasters Sweepstakes Award at the 2024 Tennessee Music Education Association state conference in Nashville this past weekend. This accolade recognizes superior performance across both marching and concert band disciplines, underscoring the band's dedication to musical excellence.
The Tennessee Bandmasters Sweepstakes Award is presented to select bands that achieve the highest ratings—superior—in categories that include marching band and concert stage performance and sight reading. Out of numerous contenders across the state, only 33 bands (middle or high schools) have met the rigorous criteria to receive this prestigious award this year. The MVB received superior ratings with performances of their marching show “Voyage to Valhalla” and their stage performance of “The Light Eternal” and “Symphonic Dance, No. 3 “Fiesta.”
The Mighty Viking Band has continuously demonstrated a commitment to musical rigor and artistry. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and passion exhibited by the students and their instructors.
“This award not only honors our talented students and dedicated staff but also uplifts the entire Tennessee High School community,” said band director David Semones. “We are immensely proud of our band’s achievements and the exemplary level of musicianship they have maintained for many years.”
The Mighty Viking Band will continue to strive for musical excellence and inspire both their peers and their community with impassioned, musical performances.
Thank you Volunteers!!
A very special thank you to every single one of our volunteers! Band camp, football game performances, competitions and Music in the Castle would not be nearly what they are without you. From the bottom of our heart, we truly appreciate all of the hours, sweat and love that you pour into our student’s musical experiences. Keep it up! You guys are amazing!
Thank you to our donors!
Band Camp is a crazy summer of hard work, sweat, and sometimes blood and tears. We cannot thank our community enough for their support. A good meal and a full belly goes a long way to helping keep our students marching. So, from the bottom of our hearts (and our bellies), we thank you!
