Marching Giants Earn another Gold Rating

15 Bands from across the state converged at Center Grove HS on Saturday, October 16, for ISSMA Regional Competition. All bands were hoping for a Gold Rating and to finish in the top 10 based on their score for the evening. The stands were packed with fans for all the bands; but Ben Davis fans could be heard when the Marching Giants took the field. Cowbells ringing, cheers echoing, and screams of support could be heard from end to end, and across the field. The Marching Giants presented their show, “The Maze”, to the excited fans. Showing the crowd their new drills they had just learned the past week. Giving it their all, the Marching Giants earn the required Gold Rating; but did they advance to Semi-State? Yes, they did! The Bands do not know their scores, but, the top 10 Bands advance to Semi-State competition and the Marching Giants are among those Bands.

10 other bands in Class A earned the Gold rating at the Lafayette Jefferson competition, also held this past Saturday. The combination of the 10 bands from Lafayette Jefferson will be joined by the 10 bands from the Center Grove competition to make up the 20 Bands competing at Semi-State. The competition will be held at the Ben Davis Stadium; Saturday, October 23. Of these 20 bands, the top 10 bands earning a Gold rating will compete at ISSMA State competition on Saturday, October 30, at Lucas Oil Stadium.
