Competing in Class AAA, the band earned several top honors, including an excellent rating, first place in percussion and drum major, second place in Class AAA, and outstanding effect. They also placed third in the Black Division and finished fifth overall.
“I’m incredibly proud of our students and their hard work,” said band director Amanda Lucy. “Their dedication to excellence really showed on the field, and I can’t wait to see what they achieve as the season progresses.”
