La Porte Marching Band "Off the Rails"

(La Porte, IN) - La Porte High School’s Marching Band is ready to kick off a new season.

 

They’re unveiling an exciting new show called “Off the Rails.” Arranged by John Fannin, the production features a dynamic and captivating musical and visual journey. It includes some original music as well as familiar tunes ranging from “Chattanooga Choo-Choo” to “Crazy Train.”

 

Under the direction of Joe Clark, the La Porte Marching Band continues its tradition of excellence, combining challenging music, innovative drill, and strong school spirit. Over 79 students, 51 returning and 28 new, will take the field this fall, representing La Porte High School in competitions, football games, and community events.

 

"It's always exciting to start a new season and see how all the students work together," said band director Joe Clark. "We had a great parade camp and performance, and I think we really have a great show to put together and share with the community this year."

 

The band invites family, friends, and fans to support them at their upcoming performances, beginning with Arts in the Park at 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 14, at Fox Park.

 

The Slicer Marching Band will also take the field at La Porte's first home football game against New Prairie High School on Friday, August 22nd, performing a spirited pre-game show and debuting a portion of their halftime production for the hometown crowd.
