MARYVILLE, Mo. — The Maryville Marching Spoofhounds timed their feet on the way down the Northwest Missouri State University Homecoming Parade route last weekend then promptly packed up their equipment and headed to the Cameron MarchFest for even more competition.

“The band had great success in Cameron on Saturday,” Director of Bands Benoit Gauthier said in an email. “We came home with 5 trophies.”

The band placed first in the following contests: Field Show, Music, Indoor Color Guard and Field Color Guard.

The indoor drumline came away with a second-place win.

In the homecoming parade, the band was named Grand Champion Overall and first place within its class, with eight bands — North Nodaway, Fairfax, Stanberry, Tarkio, South Nodaway, North Platte and Center — participating in the event. The Maryville Color Guard also placed first overall.
