The Bobcat Marching Band had a busy and successful weekend. Posts have already been made with results of receiving a Division 1 rating at state contest for the 3rd year in a row, the highest rating possible, and taking 2nd place of 9 bands in 3A at the Muscatine competition. Accomplishments to celebrate for sure, but I'd (Mr. Meyer) like to take some time to tell you a few more details about our busy day.
The band students will tell you I started Saturday with a feeling that something special was going to happen. I didn't know what it was, but that it would reveal itself when the day was done. Awesome scores and results are no doubt special, but they barely scratch the surface of what truly happened yesterday. Here are a few highlights that have nothing to do with scores:
One performance takes 20 plus volunteers to run smoothly. These volunteers followed us around the state putting in a complete Saturday to make two performances possible.
Minutes before our first performance our podium cart used to move large equipment broke. Several parents rallied together to get equipment on and off the field without the use of the cart. Following the performance the Bistline family, volunteers and trailer drivers for the day, called a friend and took the cart to a shop for a professional level repair. This was done at no cost and with very little prior notice. Thank you to our welder for the day whose name escapes me. Post in the comments to give this person a shout out.
After our first performance the Band Boosters fed 100 plus hungry students, staff, and parent volunteers ensuring that no one present went without lunch.
Hours pass and we put on a second performance setting the bar for all 3A bands to clear. Following this the Bakker family fills their car with pizza and drinks for 100 plus providing our second meal to all present.
If this doesn't add up to a special day I don't know what does. My biggest takeaway from the day though without question will be the smiles, fist pumps, and Benton pride shown by our band students and band family. High scores are fun in the moment, but there were so many things yesterday that will last in the heart and memory of these students for a lifetime.

🏐 Our 7th Grade Bobcats are hitting the court! Middle school athletics provide such a great opportunity for students to explore new interests, try a sport for the very first time, or continue developing their skills if they've been playing for years! Beyond the game, our student-athletes are learning valuable lessons in teamwork, communication, perseverance, and sportsmanship.
Congratulations to our 2026 Inductees to the Benton Community Chapter of the National Honor Society!
