After traveling more than 6 hours to the competition, the show being delayed an additional 3 hours because of rain, they finally got to perform around 5 pm that evening. There were bands from 4 different states (LA, TX, MS, & us from FL) and we came home with Straight 1s (equivalent to Straight A’s) as well as:
Best in class Percussion

Their last guaranteed performance will be at this Friday’s football game. We hope you will come and support us, the football team, and cheer this Friday!
