2010 West Marion High School graduate Stephen Foxworth was a member of the prestigious Mississippi Lions Band that won top honors in the international Lions Band competition in Sydney, Australia last month. Foxworth, a tuba player, was the only member from Marion County. There were a total of 144 members from 61 high schools across the state in the Mississippi Lions band. This is the seventh time in the past eight years that the Mississippi Lions band has won the competition. With 27 titles, the Mississippi Lions Band now has more wins in the competition than any other band. Foxworth will attend USM in the fall and be a member of the band there.
