  MARCHING BAND COMPETITION SEASON WRAPPED UP

The band completed their competition season recently at the Bands of America Grand Nationals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. This was the band's second trip to BOA in recent years. The BOA competition showcased 91 high school bands from 19 states. The Ada Marching Bulldogs performed in Thursday's prelims with a strong showing that we can be very proud of. Unfortunately, the band did not qualify for the semi-finals. Nonetheless, the band enjoyed their time in Indy! Congratulations to the band, color guard, band director Jonathan Lischak, and color guard director Amy Webb for a very successful season!

 The Ada High School Marching Band earned multiple awards at the Bloom-Carroll and Tri Valley marching band competitions on October 26. The busy day started at Bloom-Carroll High School Annual BC Classic, where the band earned third place in Class C and recognition as best percussion in Class C. Also, the color guard earned best auxiliary in Class C. One interesting note is that the windy conditions required the adults to lie down along one edge of the tarp during Ada's performance. What a unique way to watch the show!

In the second competition of the day, at Tri Valley High School, weather conditions improved and the band arguably had their best performance of the year. Although they did not qualify for the OMEA State Marching Band Finals, the band earned third place in Class C and the color guard won outstanding auxiliary in Class C. Congratulations to the band and color guard!

At Copley High School on October 19, the band earned first place for all Class B and Class C schools. Additionally, this performance marked the first time the band has ever received a Superior rating in the music category.

Earlier this season, the band competed at the 2013 Buckeye Invitational in Ohio Stadium, where the band received an "Excellent" rating. Additionally, at the Revere High School Marching Band Invitational, Ada earned trophies for "Best Auxiliary" in Class C, second place in Class C, and "Best Overall Visual Effect" for all bands who competed. Click HERE to see our trophy case!
