On July 28th - August 8th, the Marching Lions Band held their annual two weeks of Band Camp at QACHS. During the two weeks, the students worked very hard and were able to learn all of the music and field work for their fall field production of Thor's Hammer. They also worked on the music for the opening ceremony of the QA County Fair and Parade, along with all the music associated with performing at the home football games this fall. Themed spirit days were enjoyed by the members during the two weeks. Week one had 'Merica Monday, Tropical Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday, Super Hero Thursday, and Whiteout Friday. Week two had Movie Monday, Tie-dye Tuesday, Wednesday, Sectional Color Day Thursday, and Green and Gold Friday. The band also attended a field trip up to the University of Delaware for the Drum Corps International competition during the first week of camp as well.
On August 11th, the Marching Lions Band gave their first public performance of the season as they opened the Opening Ceremony at the QA County Fair by performing a selection in the Horse Ring and then lead the various 4-H Clubs around the 4-H Park to the main show ring, before they completed the circle on their own back to where they began.
On September 13th, the 2025 Marching Lions Band traveled to Kent Island High School for the Maryland Marching Band Association’s Eastern Preview show. The Marching Lions gave an outstanding performance for an adjudication panel of three judges that gave overall comments on what the band is doing well and areas for improvement and growth in preparation for their next competitive performance at the Colonel Richardson MMBA Competition on October 4th.
On October 4th, the Marching Lions Band traveled to Colonel Richardson High School to compete in the MMBA Week 3E competition. After working to complete the show and make the recommended adjustments, coming out of the preview show 3 weeks ago at Kent Island, the band gave an outstanding performance that earned them a score of 73.32 and 1st Place finish. In addition to their top placement in their group class, they also brought home a 1st place finish in both Percussion and Color Guard for their group class as well.
On October 11th, the Marching Lions Band had a very busy day as they marched with several Alumni Members in the Homecoming Parade that went from Kennard Elementary to the high school. To help start the game, the Marching Lions, along with the SMS Thunderbird Marching Band and the CMS Golden Retriever Marching Band, presented "My Country 'Tis of Thee" as a pre-game Mass Band presentation. After a brief moment of silence in remembrance of a former QACHS student, they presented the "Star Spangled Banner" to get the game started. During the game, they had the opportunity to play the QACHS Fight Song each time the team scored a touchdown, and that happened several times to bring the Lions a Homecoming victory. At half-time, the Marching Lions presented the latest version of their field production of "Thor's Hammer".
