The band swept every caption at Lakeside on Saturday, finishing with a 92.4 — the program's highest early-season score in a decade.
Judges singled out the brass balance in the third movement and the color guard's work through the closer. Percussion took the Outstanding Percussion award for the second year running.
Next competitive outing is the State Championships on October 24. Rehearsal schedule for the run-up is posted on the calendar.
