DHS Band Brings Fun to the Stadium
With the wind blowing the right direction on this past crisp Friday morning, you could actually stand outside in downtown Dexter and hear the Dexter Bearcat Marching Band practicing their halftime show from Charles “Seed” Bland Stadium. images/Blog Images/show/uk7vLike a bugle sounding “Reveille”, that beautiful sound lets us know that it’s time for the Bearcat Nation to get prepared for the pageantry that will be performed that night when sports and art collide on a high school football field.

There are so many different pieces that develop the pageantry of this Friday night spectacular. From the booster club volunteers on the field until late night on Thursday painting the Bearcat at mid-field, to the cheerleaders, to the players and the list goes on and on. But one can’t imagine a Friday night without the DHS Bearcat Marching Band taking the field. They bring a huge amount of spirit and fun to Charles “Seed” Bland Stadium!!!

The leadership of the band comes down to Scott Rybolt, the band director at Dexter High School. Scott’s passion for music is surrounded by built in fun and laughter. Scott is dedicated to the orchestration of “The Show”!



images/Blog Images/show/uk80 “The Show” does not happen just by showing up. Just like the football team on the field for four quarters of the game, Scott’s band members are dedicated and put in countless hours of preparation both as a unit and individually. They begin their preparation during the summer months with performance designs, band camps and summer practices. All of this extra work joins together to give to us the outstanding pre-game, half-time and past-game performances that we get to enjoy on Friday nights.

Dedication and passion begets dedication and passion. That is the result that Scott Rybolt is delivering to our young people in the DHS Band program. His work has delivered to the Dexter program a pride that makes the band an iatrical part of the “Friday Night Lights” experience. As a true Bearcats fan, the ShowMe Times is proud to lift them up for the contributions and help to promote the good works in our community.

Let’s make an ACTION PLAN!!! When you attend the Stoddard County Fair parade and the DHS Marching Band passes by, let them know how much we appreciate their contributions to our community.
