The Morton High School band, based in Morton, Illinois, has a stellar reputation for its exceptional musical talent and competitive achievements. Over the years, the band has become a powerhouse, consistently performing at a high level in both state and national competitions. Their success is largely due to the dedication of the students and the strong leadership from their directors, Bob Hornsby and Katrina Fitzpatrick. These two have been instrumental in shaping the band’s growth, pushing the students to strive for excellence in both musicianship and discipline.
Morton’s band program is known for its well-rounded approach, balancing marching band performances in the fall with concert band and jazz ensembles throughout the year. The marching band has earned numerous accolades, including top finishes in state competitions and appearances at prestigious events. They often perform at local parades, football games, and community events, serving as a source of pride for Morton.
In addition to the competitive side, the band also fosters a strong sense of community and teamwork among its members, with many students continuing to pursue music in college and beyond. The Morton High School band’s success is a reflection of the town's commitment to supporting the arts and investing in the youth, making it a significant part of the local culture.
Learn about Katrina's near-death experience to see some llamas, and let Bob tell you which two 90's rock bands are best to play drums to. These two, along with the help of many staffers, an army of volunteering parents, and with wild support from administration, have put together 19 back-to-back state championships. Of all the "things" that these two are to so many people, I'm proud to say that they're two very good "friends" to me.
