Within the next month and a half the officer team for the 2024 season of the Marching Virginians will be assembled. While the band collectively waits to see who their new officers are, some time is needed to say goodbye to the graduating members.

While the band may not see everything they do, we know that the officer team is the reason that the MVs function so well. To all our graduating (and graduated) leadership, thank you for making our last season possible. Those of us left behind cannot wait to see what amazing feats you all do, and we all hope to see you at a football game this fall!
