Manheim Township High School marching band members practiced âReach for the Starsâ during band camp.
MTHS Band Drill To âReach For The Starsâ embers of the Manheim Township High School (MTHS) marching band were especially excited to be at band camp this year, noting that among the best moments were when they could high-five and hug each other. The 101 band members met at the high school on Aug. 9 through 13 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day to learn the 2021 fall drill. This yearâs show, which will run more than seven minutes and feature seven space-oriented musical numbers, is called âReach for the Stars.â Students will begin with

âAlso Sprach Zarathustra,â which is the theme from â2001: A Space Odyssey,â by Richard Strauss, followed by the âTheme From Star Trekâ by Alexander Courage and then the theme from âStar Trek 2009,â by Michael Giacchino, and the âTheme From Apollo 13â by James Horner. The final three songs will be âSpace Oddityâ by David Bowie, âSatelliteâ by Dave Matthews Band, and âRocket Manâ by Elton John. To reflect the music, band members will form a number of shapes associated with outer space, including the âStar Trekâ logo, a UFO shape, and a variety of constellations. Even the color
guard uniforms will match the space theme as the students work with swing flags, 6-foot flags, and rifles. Lighting effects will also be part of the 2021 fall presentation. Several band members will be in the spotlight during the show, including brass captain Ethan Brokaw, who will perform a trumpet solo at the beginning of âSpace Oddity.â In addition, Lily Barrall will perform trumpet solos during âStar Trek 2009,â the original âStar Trekâ theme, and on âRocket Man.â Janek Vedock will have a trumpet solo during âApollo 13.â Assistant color guard captain Priscille Juin will perform a quadruple rifle throw during
the theme from â2001: A Space Odyssey,â and color guard captain Caitlin Schaefer, and guard member Lily Kilgore will perform a duet during âSpace Oddity.â Color guard Dylan Luther will dance a solo in âRocket Man.â In addition, the band will perform a visual feature while the pit plays âSatellite.â Erin Gray, who shares drum major duties with Niamh McConnell, noted that the weather threatened to impede progress during band camp. âA lot of the challenge is keeping up our energy when it gets really hot and humid,â she said. âWe need to keep up the energy to stay productive.â See MTHS pg 6

COBYS works to educate, support, and empower children and adults to reach their full potential by providing a range of foster care, adoption, permanency, family life education, and counseling services to children and families at risk throughout the region. The organization, with offices at 1417 Oregon Road, Leola, celebrated 40 years of serving the Lancaster County area in 2020.
