The Irondale Marching Knights present their 2009 production, Power and Grace, with music arranged specifically for marching band by Frank Sullivan. The power of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite integrated with the grace of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake makes for a very intriguing arrangement on the field.
The interweaving of these two classic pieces will unfold throughout the program. By the use of color, staging and drill, both intensity and beauty will be apparent and the mixing of the two tunes will add a new and interesting dimension to these most familiar pieces.

2009 Sponsorship Campaign
The student members of the Irondale Marching Knights have raised funds over the past few years to purchase a semi trailer to move our equipment to parades and field show competitions.
We're proud to report that no school district funds were used for the purchase of the trailer.
The trailer is a powerful visual symbol of the band, and an exciting new opportunity to showcase your sponsorship.
The Irondale Marching Knights are proud to present music from George Gershwin’s Symphonic Suite from Porgy and BessOh, Lawd, I’m on my way

Entering their 12th competitive season, the award-winning Irondale Marching Knights are pleased to present “Prairie Metropolis.” The show depicts the rise of a shimmering metropolis of metal and glass across the river from the prairie, where simple wooden structures sit among fields of grain. The music of Jerome Moross’ Big Country begins the show and brings to mind the modest grandeur of vast prairie and sky. Charles Rochester Young’s fast-paced Tempered Steel creates the feeling of exhilaration associated with the might and expansion. The tender, emotional strains of Eric Whitacre’s October suggest a time for the rest and reflection on achievements and what lies ahead – a time for rejuvenation. Joseph Curiale’s Gates of Gold concludes the program with notes of celebration and renewed energy to continue the progression.
