PROSPECT KNIGHT OF CHAMPIONS

September 28, 2024

The Prospect High School Band Boosters hosted it’s twenty-seventh annual Knight of Champions Marching Band Festival on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at Prospect High School.  The competition was a huge success and fun for all who attended. 

More than a dozen bands from across the Chicagoland area, such as Providence Catholic High School, Argo Community High School, Glenbrook North High School, William Howard Taft High School, Huntley High School, Round Lake High School, Plainfield South High School, Lake Park High School, Fremd High School, and Rolling Meadows High School. Plus Prospect High School’s very own Prospect Marching Knights performed in exhibition. 

First, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies for the Class A, Class AA, and Class AAA bands were awarded along with Outstanding General Effect, Outstanding Music, Outstanding Visual, Outstanding Percussion, and Outstanding Auxiliary caption awards for each class.  The Dave Morrison Grand Champion Traveling Trophy was awarded to Lake Park High School, the highest-scoring band of the day.
