Our Rich Township Marching Band and Majorettes had huge success this past weekend.  Under the direction of Mr. Crews, the Mighty Marching Machine traveled four hours south to take 1st Place in the 26th annual Oblong Marching Band Festival on Saturday, October 30th.  Drum Majors, Jonthan Matthews, Danyell Williams and Destane Williams, earned the honor of Best Drum Majors in their class. 

When asked about this weekend’s experience, STEM Freshmen Marching Band Member Jaylan McKinnes said, “Our marching band is such a great group that loves to create great music.  I love the energy we put out there when performing.  This win was really special to all of us.”  

The next big performance for the Mighty Marching Machine will be at the Richton Park Veterans Day Parade on Saturday, November 6 at 10AM.  Come and support them!   The parade will march eastbound on Sauk Trail from Southland Prep to the Metra station on Governors Hwy.
