Members of the Thompson Valley High School Golden Eagle Marching Band became stars of their own Disney show March 22 when they entertained resort guests at the Magic Kingdom Park.
The group traveled more than 1,800 miles from Loveland to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida to take part in the Disney Performing Arts Program.
The marching band, under the direction of Adam White, entertained hundreds of Magic Kingdom Park guests as it marched through Frontierland and around Cinderella Castle onto Main Street, USA, before the Festival of Fantasy Parade.
This was the group’s sixth visit to the resort with the Disney Performing Arts Program.
In addition to their performance, the group participated in the Disney Performing Arts “You’re Instrumental” workshop, where they learned how to get the most of their rehearsals and honed their sight-reading skills under the guidance of an experienced Disney teaching artist.
Vocal, instrumental and dance ensembles from all around the world apply to perform each year as part of Disney Performing Arts at both the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort.
Once selected, they are given the opportunity to perform at the resort for an international audience of theme park guests. Millions of performers have graced the stages of the Disney Parks in the more than 25-year history of the program.
