Celebrating an Unforgettable 2026 Season!
The Wissahickon Marching Unit brought school spirit, dynamic musicianship, and decades of tradition to the field all season long with their powerful 2026 production, "Empire of the Midnight Sun." Taking audiences on an epic journey to the far north, the ensemble blended classical grandeur with atmospheric power—beginning in the depths of polar night with Jeremy Bell’s evocative Einherjar, sweeping across the horizon with Dvořák’s majestic Largo (Symphony No. 9), and closing with a heart-pounding finale in Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King.
Through intricate drill formations, expressive movement, and high-octane energy, the Marching Unit capped off an incredible competitive run at the USBands Championships (Group III A) with an impressive score of 79.000! Earlier this season, the Unit was also honored as the proud recipient of the prestigious 2026 Jamie Herbert Esprit de Corps Award, recognizing the team's exceptional character and camaraderie.
Congratulations to all of our student performers, staff, and boosters on a season defined by excellence, unity, and unforgettable memories!
