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.

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.
