The Grand Haven High School Buccaneer Marching Band celebrated its 100th anniversary with a special performance at the Grand Haven Musical Fountain on Friday, Sept. 25.

The Grand Haven Tribune reported that the program’s 119 members paraded down Washington Avenue toward the Lynne Sherwood Waterfront Stadium, where a large crowd gathered to watch them perform their show called Echoes of a Century.

The show honors the program’s centennial season with a musical journey through the last 10 decades, according to the Grand Haven Tribune.

Drum majors leading the ensemble included junior Liv Eickholt and seniors Abby Laws and Don Zant, the Grand Haven Tribune reported.

As the band paraded through downtown Grand Haven, people lining Washington Avenue clapped and cheered, according to the publication. Band members played the school’s fight song while marching to the stadium for the musical fountain performance.

The Buccaneer Marching Band invited the Grand Haven community to celebrate its centennial season at the waterfront venue, the Grand Haven Tribune reported.
