County Marching Bands Top Weekend Competitions
Both Bluffton and Norwell marching bands had plenty to shout about Saturday.
Competing at different competitions, both the Bengal Brigade and the Marching Knights (pictured above) took top honors in their respective classes.
Bluffton, competing in a Mid-States competition at Hamilton Southeastern in Fishers placed first, and also won “Best Music” and “Best Visual” caption awards in their class. Mid-States competitions are grouped according to the number of members in each band, as opposed to ISSMA’s grouping according to the number of students in each school, so Bluffton was competing in Class A in Fishers.
Crawfordsville placed second and won the caption award for “Best Effect”, while Connorsville placed third.
Competing at Penn High School in Mishawaka, Norwell made it four wins from four competitions for the year, winning Class C in their ISSMA competition, and also claiming the caption awards for “Best Music”, “Best Visual” and “Best General Effect.
Norwell beat out Leo, Fairfield and John Glenn in their division.
Thanks to the Norwell Music Boosters for the photo that went with this post. Photos of Bluffton will follow.
Both Bluffton and Norwell compete at Homestead Saturday. Bluffton will compete in Class D at 11:26 a.m., while Norwell competes in Class C at 1: 36 p.m.
