It wasn’t quite a perfect weekend for Wells County’s marching bands, but it wasn’t too bad either with one first, three seconds, and a bunch of caption awards.
Both Bluffton and Norwell contested a double header of competitions Saturday, performing first at Homestead’s “Fall Festival of Bands”, and then Snider’s “Mighty Panther Parade of Champions”, which was actually held at Wayne High School.
Competing in Class C, Norwell’s Marching Knights secured top honors, along with the caption awards for Best Music, best Visual and Best General Effect, at Snider’s competition, but were edged into second by Concordia Lutheran at Homestead. There, Norwell won the caption award for Best Music, and tied for Best Visual with Concordia Lutheran, who claimed the caption for Best General Effect.
Competing in Class D, Bluffton’s Bengal Brigade recorded a pair of second placings. They were edged out by Adams Central at Homestead, however Bluffton did claim the caption award for Best Visual. At Snider, it was Woodlan who beat out the Bengal Brigade, although again, Bluffton claimed the Best Visual caption award.
Both bands contest the ISSMA Regional Championships this weekend, as they stake their respective claims for a spot in the State Finals at Lucas Oil Stadium on Oct. 29.
Bluffton will perform at the Class D championships at Lafayette Jefferson at 12:44 p.m.
Norwell will perform at the Class C championships at Chesterton at 1:23 p.m.
