Lightning Marching Band

The Lightning Marching Band consists of students in Grades 9-12 and performs at all Liberty Varsity Home Football Game, Two Marching Band Competitions as well as the Liberty Homecoming Parade and University of Iowa Homecoming Parade. The Lightning Marching Band concludes its season with the Liberty Band Extravaganza. The Lightning Marching Band added a Color Guard and began competing in 2022, and added frontline percussion to the ensemble in 2023. For 2024 the Liberty Color Guard added rifles to their routine. The Lightning Marching Band continues to grow and be a presence and source of pride in our community.
