Entering into its 14th year of competitive marching, the Lourdes High School Marching Band’s 2012 show, “A Gershwin Portrait” features the music of George Gershwin.

On September 8, 2012, the Lourdes Marching Band took the field and was honored with “Outstanding Wind Section” and “Outstanding Drumline”, along with second place overall Class AA at the Eden Prairie Marching Band Festival. At the Eastview Marching Band Festival, the Eagles were awarded “Outstanding Soloist”, “Outstanding Wind Section”, and “Outstanding Percussion”. They also placed second overall in the Class AA Caption Awards. “I think we have raised the bar once again.” stated Michael Mangan, “my favorite part of the season is seeing the pride on the faces of the students after their performance.”

Under the seasoned directorship of Michael Mangan and Lee Krueger, the 74 member band and color guard begins its practices in early August and compete throughout September and October. This year, the Lourdes Marching Eagles will travel to competitions in Eden Prairie, Eastview, Rosemount, Waseca, Sioux Falls, and at the Youth in Music Championships held at the Metrodome.

The public is invited to watch their shows at the Lourdes Eagles home football games held at the RCTC Stadium.

Lourdes High School provides academic excellence, faith formation and service learning experiences for 475 students in grades 9 through 12. Lourdes High School is one of the four Rochester Catholic Schools that educate 1,800 students in grades Preschool through 12.
