West Muskingum Tornado Marching Band

 
 
West Muskingum High School is located in Zanesville, Ohio, which is best known for its unique Y-shaped bridge spanning the convergence of the Muskingum and Licking Rivers.  Zanesville has a rich history, spanning from being an important town along the National Road to hosting the state capital from 1810-1812 to being a center for ceramics production.


The Tornado Marching Band is active each year participating in parades, festivals, and contests around the state of Ohio.  The band is in constant demand around our region for community events and local business support.  The TMB is especially proud of its relationship with area veteran’s organizations, including being the only area band invited annually to participate in the Muskingum County Veteran’s Hall of Fame Ceremony.


This year the Tornado Marching Band is marching in the Gratiot Independence Day, Muskingum County Fair, and Muskingum County Veteran’s Parades and appearing in adjudicated events at Lancaster HS, Watkins Memorial HS, Meadowbrook HS, and Newark HS.
