125 years later...the ONU marching band plays on

ONU Marching Band field commander Ryan Briley attempted to make history by playing “The Longest Note” in front of Heterick Memorial Library on Tuesday. There's still time to join us this week as the Star of Northwest Ohio commemorates 125 years of accomplishment.

The following story is from ONU's Facebook:

For 125 years, the Ohio Northern University Marching Band contributed to the Northern campus and the Ada community.

When students J.B. McArthur and S.H. Myers led the first marching band in 1890, it is doubtful that either considered the legacy they were leaving.

Ada band excels in Saturday's "double-header"

The Ada High School marching band hit the road at 6 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 24 to compete in two OMEA-sanctioned events.  

The band first performed during a rainy Bloom-Carroll Classic Marching Band Competition in Carroll, Ohio.  Ada was awarded Best Color Guard, Best Percussion and Best Music in Class C. The band placed 1st in Class C and 2nd in the combined Class B/C events.

The band then headed to Tri-Valley High School in Dresden to perform in the Tri-Valley Classic against 10 bands in the combination B/C class.
