WESTFIELD, Ind. — The second week of Operation Football's 31st season sees the 13Sports crew travel to Riverview Health Stadium in Westfield for the Operation Football Game of the Week between Carmel and Westfield.
That also means that we're highlighting the Pride of Westfield marching band as the Band of the Week!
The 2024 season will mark Westfield's second season competing in ISSMA Open Class competition. After winning championships in the Scholastic A class in 2021 and 2022, Westfield moved up to Open Class for 2023.
Their 2023 show "Uncharted" earned the band a trip to state finals where they placed 10th in Open Class A.
This year, the band will be performing their 2024 show "Tabula Rasa," which is described as a show about how the object of art is to give life a shape.
Watch the Pride of Westfield's performance in the player above and stick around for halftime of the Operation Football Game of the Week to see the band's 2024 show performance.
