The Monticello marching has had a big year and looks to continue their success next week when they head to St. Louis for the Band of America marching championships.
Band Director at Monticello High School, Allison Allender indicates they've had a great deal of success already and look to continue that success as they take on bigger venues in the next several weeks.
Allender says the participation for this year's band is very strong. There's 130 students that are performing a show surrounding the life of Abraham Lincoln.
Allender calls the band one of the best sounding groups they've had in a long time. She credits the students and staff with working hard to get an orchestra sound on the field.
