Home of the 1999 ISSMA Class A State Champions!!!
The music for the 1999 production is "New Era Dance", by Aaron Kernis. The show thus far is truly bringing in a New Era of Center Grove, with the return of tarps, different guard flags and equipment from the past years, and modern dance in all sections of the band. The show is still taking shape right now, but the change has begun! Stay tuned to watch the Grove's development as the season progresses!
If you are interested in hearing the original New Era Dance recording, please email me with New Era Dance as your subject heading. I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible!
