Both Bluffton and Norwell marching bands successfully negotiated their first hurdle on the way to this year’s state championships at Lucas Oil Field.
Competing Saturday in the ISSMA District Championships in Homestead, both bands secured gold ratings in their respective classes, to move on to the regional championships stage, in two weeks time. Norwell also secured the “Best Visual” caption award in their class.
Bluffton competes in Class D in ISSMA competitions, while Norwell competes in Class C.
(Photos from the weekend will be posted in the next post).
Both will have a big double-header shakedown next weekend in preparation for that appearance, competing at Homestead in the morning, then Snider (at Wayne High School as Fort Wayne Schools are sharing facilities) in the afternoon.
The ISSMA Regional Championships for Class C will be at Chesterton in two weeks, while Class D will be at Lafayette Jefferson. Both competitions will be on Oct. 15.
