EHS 6th at Lafayette Finals
The Wildcat Pride Marching Band opened their 2008 competition season at the Lafayette Contest of Champions on September 27. This show featured two distinct differences from shows that we have previously attended. First, the divisions are determined by band size rather than school size. Second, the show featured a prelims/finals format in which the bands competed in classes, then the top 10 from all classes came back that evening for a finals round.
EHS placed 4th in the open class (large bands), and was 9th in prelims out of the full field of 22. Then in finals, the band brought a significantly better show and finished 6th with a 2.3 point increase. Here are the results of that show.
