For the first time in 13 years, the Azle Marching Green Pride has advanced to the UIL State Marching Contest!
On Saturday, October 24, the MGP competed among 30 of the area’s best programs at the UIL 5A Area F Marching Contest at Birdville Fine Arts/Athletics Complex. After earning a spot in the top 12 during the preliminary round, the band delivered an outstanding finals performance to finish 6th overall, punching their ticket to the 2026 UIL 5A State Marching Contest at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
The Marching Green Pride will perform their show, “Delirium,” in prelims on Monday, November 2, at 2:00 PM.
There will be many opportunities this weekend for our Azle community to support the band:
