On Saturday, September 25, the Marching Giants headed for Louisville, KY, to compete against seventeen bands from five states in one of the nation’s most prominent marching band championships, the Bands of America Regional Championship, presented by Yamaha. This year, the Band had a performance time of 3:00 pm. With a later performance time, the Band Boosters provided lunch at Wyandotte Park in Louisville for the Band. The members arrived to a prepared lunch of hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, cookies, and drinks. After lunch, the members worked on movement warm-up, at the park, before heading to Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium at the University of Louisville. After their performance in the preliminary round, Ben Davis finished 2nd in Class AAAA. The top 10 scores from the seventeen bands would move on to finals competition later that evening. The Marching Giants had scored in the top 10 bands; and moved on to finals, with a draw time of 9:00 pm. This year the rain stayed away; and Ben Davis came out strong. Marching Giants fans in the stands were impressed with the show. During the evening awards, the Marching Giants were presented with the 4th place trophy. Congratulations Marching Giants on another a-MAZE-ing show!
Come cheer on your Marching Giants next week as the band competes in ISSMA District competition at Lawrence Central High School.
