Heritage Hills Marching Patriots Make History with ISSMA State Championship Win

The first-place win was a major milestone for Heritage Hills, securing the school’s first-ever Marching Band State Championship Title. When asked about the reasons behind the group’s great success this season, Mr. Dossett credited the talent and hard work of his wife and the students themselves. Dossett said, “It just really comes to…I try to give quality instruction, and these kids have really just bought into rebuilding and these kids have bought into wanting to get better.” The community has rallied behind the Marching Patriots as well, even leading the victors in a procession through town upon their return. Dossett reflected, “It’s been such hard work to get here, and the excitement of winning that state championship, it still doesn’t quite feel real. It’s been awesome to see the community come together and the support that band kids have gotten from their peers and that we’ve gotten from the community and school administration.”
