The Marching Giants participated in District competition, the first round of ISSMA (Indiana State School Music Association) on Saturday, October 2. Ben Davis along with six other area bands participated in Class A at Lawrence Central HS. Bands are working toward a Gold rating; this allows the band to move to the next level – Regional Competition. The Marching Giants held practice the morning of the competition before heading to the Northeast side of Indianapolis. At performance time, the Band was ready to show the crowd their show “The Maze”. The members had added new movements; while the guard had added new flags and work to impress the crowd. As always, many Ben Davis fans were in the stands and were awed by the presentation. The Marching Giants received the needed Gold rating; and will be moving on to Regional competition on Saturday, October 16 at Center Grove HS. The band will perform at 8:19 pm.
Before the band heads to Center Grove on the 16th, they will present their show during halftime at the football game at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, October 9. After the game, the members will travel to Center Grove to participate in Center Grove Invitational with a performance time of 10:09 pm.
