Congratulations to UHigh on winning A and sweeping all captions, Marian Catholic on winning AA and taking GE, Morton on 2nd in AA and taking music and visual, and Lincoln-Way on 3rd in AAAA! Congrats to Marian, Morton, O'Fallon and Lincoln-Way on making finals at BOA St. Louis!
Hi. We miss you. Today would have been the first Saturday of the 2020 competitive marching band season. We miss seeing performers having the time of their lives building a show with their second family. We miss the (light) bantering over scores and shows.
Congratulations to all bands! This is the first ISU Grand Champion trophy in the
@LWMarchingBand
district since 2008. This is the fourth ISU Grand Champion trophy for the school district: 1999, 2007 and 2008.
Congratulations to
@OTHSband
on their first ever berth into Grand National Finals!
In addition, congrats to
@MarianBand
on 2nd in AA! Unfortunately, their 34 year streak of placing in Grand National Finals (a streak that may likely never be matched) has come to an end.
Congratulations to
@MarianBand
on their 20th Class AA National Championship, sweeping all captions in AA, and making finals for the 34th consecutive year! They will perform at 8:15 PM EST.
Hi all! It is hard to believe that there is only one week to go until the 2021 season! It will have been 665 very long days since a Illinois group last performed in competition.
Good morning! Best of luck to all bands today. We'll have ISU placement updates for all classes and finalists posted as they happen today here and on our Twitter!
