Once again, the Marching Giants return to Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, November 6th to compete at Bands of America Regional’s. Lucas Oil Stadium would host 35 bands from 9 states competing in preliminary competition. Bands with the top 10 scores, regardless of class, would compete in evening finals. Wayne Downy returned from California to help the Band make final adjustments before the competition. The member’s day started with a short morning practice before loading up the trucks and buses to head downtown. Having Wayne here all week showed as The Marching Giants had a great show. Improvements could be seen from the previous week. With so many bands competing at a National level, all of them gave a great performance. During the awards ceremony, Ben Davis was not selected to move on to finals. The members were still able to hold their heads high because they knew they had performed to the best of their ability on Saturday; and that they would have another chance to perform “The Maze” one more time. Next weekend they return to Lucas Oil Stadium to compete in BOA Grand Nationals Championship. This is the final push for the Marching Giants to show the nation how they have worked so hard to make this a great season.
Don’t miss your last chance to see them perform this year. They will take the field at Lucas Oil Stadium at 7:30, Thursday, for Preliminary round; then, the Band will learn Friday evening if they move on to semi-finals on Saturday. Won’t you come support Your Marching Giants!
