Morton Junior High is a seventh and eighth grade junior high by name, but a middle school by philosophy. Seventh graders are divided into two teams and are assigned a core-teaching group consisting of a science teacher, a language arts teacher, a math teacher, and a social studies teacher. Eighth graders are divided up the same way and are assigned a similar core of teachers. Each student also has two Encore classes they have for a nine-week time period. Students may also choose to participate in band, orchestra, or vocal music. A wide variety of extra-curricular activities, clubs, and organizations are offered.

Marching Potters: What Gives You Wings

It is all about community, connections, costumes, and high-level competition. Or is it the parades, pageantry, percussion, and passionate parents (and caregivers) that raise the pride in performance? Whatever it is, it is special for those who commit and pursue excellence.

Want to experience the full What Gives You Wings show without traveling far? Join us for the Marching Potters’ Community Night performance!

Date: Monday, October 26

Time: 7:30 p.m. (gates open at 7 p.m)

Location: Morton High School

Admission: Free to the public

The band will perform its full show in uniform, sharing its hard work with friends, neighbors, and the next generation of 709 performers. A bake sale with tasty treats will be available, and after the performance, the high school will host a reception and displays for graduating seniors.

Admission is free, but every attendee through the gate supports the band. Each year, generous sponsors partner with the band to pledge $1 per person in the stands, making the event an important fundraiser for the program. We hope you’ll come out and cheer on the Marching Potters!
