Marching Band
The marching band is known as the Marching Panther Pride (MP²), and has won numerous awards and trophies over the years, most notably the Heart of Cary, given to the band with the most spirit in the parade and fields shows during Cary Band Day in Cary, NC. The band is under the direction of Mr. Corey Koch who is the only band director in school history.
Each year, the band presents "The Matt Kreitz Spirit Award" to the most enthusatic member of the marching band. This individual must be a rising-senior and showed the most pride and spirit their first three years at Massaponax. The recipient of this award is given a mega-phone and brings it to all football games their senior year, and they lead the cheers from the stands. The award is named after Matt Kreitz from the Massaponax High School Class of 2003. After graduating, Mr. Kreitz became the school's Stadium Announcer for home football games and other major events at Massaponax High School.
