Port Chester Marching Band
2025 Program
2025 Fall Season
- Machina (Mock-Ee-Nah)
Join us on a journey of creation through the inception of a machine! The inner workings of a machine hold simple and mysterious qualities, providing a building process that is both rigid and ever evolving. Pulling from the disciplined yet whimsical aesthetic of steampunk, the Pride of Port Chester explores the intersection of the industrial age and modernity.Through individual parts, gears, and cogs, watch as fragmented sections assemble into one unified product – Machina.
