Warhawk Pride / Vol. 9, No 1

Wall of Sound

The Wall of Sound had a busy summer preparing for the fall competition season. Starting practices at the end of school, their first performance was in Germantown’s 4th of July Parade. July brought more practices and performances, like the Kiwanis Taste of Germantown in Fireman’s Park. Marching camp was July 27-31. Even losing practice time to rain, the band exceeded all of our camp goals, The Richfield Parade wrapped up the group's summer performances.

Marching Band Madness is Saturday, September 12 at 7:00 at Datka Stadium. Germantown and bands from Cedarburg, Sussex, Franklin, and Greenfield will perform their shows and join forces for a mass band finale. Tickets are available at the gate. You can catch the Wall of Sound at home football games this fall as well!

The boys' cross country team spent the summer logging miles, eating donuts and bagels and welcoming new members to team.  This young squad was excited to test their fitness with their first competition of the season at the Hoehnke-Hill Milwaukee River Invite which was held on Thursday, August 27th at Veterans Park overlooking Lake Michigan.

The summer work that the team put in showed up in the results with 11 runners improving upon their opening race results from a year ago on the same course.  Junior Vander Hausmann led the way with his 16th place finish earning him a medal.  Junior Chase Schellinger and Ben Armstrong, sophomore Will Grimm and junior Blake Yegge rounded out the scoring 5 athletes.  Congrats to Will Grimm for his 1 minute and 22 second personal record (PR).

The team next races at the Leighton Betz Invite in West Allis on Friday, September 4th. Good luck!
