The Little Big Band The 1983 Mighty Meade Mustang Mar- ching Machine, through hard work and de- termination, ranks among the best in the state. Both the musicians and the band front have spent hundreds of hours in music and marching practice. The band front consists of approximately 20 students in the silk squad, rifle squad, and color guard. The band has attended many different types of events. The agenda for the Mus- tangs was almost non-Stop since August. Three full weeks of the summer vacation was devoted to practice. This year's band attended nine major events between September and Decem- ber. The Mustangs participated in three Tournament of Band competitions, two at which a first place trophy was gained. The band also attended an exhibition show at Severna Park High School. Four parades were marched in, two which the band was judged in the top five.
