2007 Marching Bengals




The Marching Band program at Blaine High School is part of a comprehensive music program including four concert bands, two jazz bands, orchestra, pep band, Winter Drum line, and various other ensembles.
The musicians you see before you rehearse entirely outside of the school day and comprise one of the largest extra-curricular activities at Blaine High School.
Most recently, the Blaine High School Marching Bengals were selected to perform in the 96th annual National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. last spring. 

 

The Blaine High School Marching Bengals were proud to present their fall 2007 show entitled:
"Break Out!" featuring the music of Cirque Du Soleil.

 

The Blaine High School Marching Bengals are under the direction of Andy Tye and Matt Shervey, with additional instruction by Tim Hauser, Becci Okane, Matt Mann, Dan Noraker, Britany Piatz, and Mike Zondervan.

 

The Blaine High School Marching Bengals would like to give a special thank you to the Band Boosters, Shawn Kolles, Bruce Olson, Ed Schaefle, the Blaine High School Administration, the Alumni staff, and the parents for all their help and support throughout the season

The Marching Bengals presented their Fall 2006 production titled:"The Promise of Living."
This show represents some of the lesser known works of Aaron Copland.  The show opens with youthful optimism in An Outdoor Overture.  Gratitude and hope for a better life are represented with The Promise of Living. The show concludes with the energy of The Red Pony and the triumph of The Fanfare for the Common Man.

The 2005 Blaine High School Marching Bengals

In 2005 the Blaine High School Marching Bengals were proud to bring you their fall field show production entitled "La Nouba!"  This exciting production showcased some of the most memorable music from the exciting theatrical production of CIRQUE DU SOLEIL. Four pieces were selected, they are: "Distorted", "Reve Rouge", "A La Lune" and "Urban".


Once upon a time...
A door opened and two worlds collided.
Dreams clashed with reality. The mundane mixed with the marvelous.
It was no longer possible to tell where one world began and the other ended.
This new place was called La Nouba.
