The Rock Port High School Marching Blue Jays traveled to Maryville, Missouri, Saturday, October 31, 2026, to compete in the Northwest Missouri State University Homecoming Parade. It was a rainy Halloween day, but that didn’t stop the Jays from coming out on top! They placed first in the Class 1 Large School Division, earned 2nd place in the Auxiliary competition, and were named Grand Champions of the parade. (Abby Palmer photo)
