The Union City High School Marching Band appears ready for a great finish to the 2024 competition season.
The Purple People added to their seasonal hardware collection last weekend at the Choctaw Invitational at Dyer County High School.
Union City placed 1st in its class in Band, Guard, and Percussion and was 2nd in Drum Major.
Among 23 bands in all, the Marching Tornadoes were fifth.
UCHS band supporters got the opportunity to see the Purple People perform their show in person during a free community exhibition on Tuesday night at War Memorial Stadium.
Union City will take the field in the Division 2 state competition at 10:30 tomorrow in Smyrna.
