Marching Giants Place 8th in the State

Ben Davis Marching Giants represented Wayne Township at the 38th Annual Indiana State School Music Association finals for Class A Marching Bands on Saturday, October 30. The evening started with a Police escort, along with the streets blocked by Wayne Township Fire Department, and members of the community shooting off fireworks and cheers for the members as they made their way to Lucas Oil Stadium. Everyone involved could feel the excitement in the air and pride in their hearts for the Marching Giants.

As the Marching Giants took the field, Ben Davis fans were packed into the stands cheering on the members. The Band had added new body movements to their show that many had not seen adding to the thrill of watching Ben Davis. The show now finishes with the members playing as they move to their knees and falling over to one side or the other; giving an a-MAZE-ing visual effect to finish the show.

During the Awards ceremony, the four drum majors accept the 8th place trophy. All the bands hard work has shown that Ben Davis Marching Giants is one of the top 10 bands in the State of Indiana; an accomplishment many bands strive for; but Ben Davis has proven time and time again. Dave Cole, assistant band director, stated, “It is great to be from Ben Davis tonight. Thanks for a great performance.” Everyone is very proud of the Marching Giants for all their accomplishments this season. However, their season isn’t over yet; the members will return to Lucas Oil Stadium this Saturday to compete in Bands of American regional competition.

Wayne Township is proud to be represented by the Ben David Marching Giants.
