This past weekend the South Lake High School Screaming Eagle Regiment traveled to Valdosta, Georgia on Saturday, October 17, to compete in the Battle on the Border Marching Band Competition at Lowndes High School. Our Screaming Eagle Regiment performed amazingly in preliminary competition, winning Visual and Guard in our Class, and winning Visual Performance overall. We also placed first in class 4A, and first in the Crimson division (4A-5A), and FIRST PLACE OVERALL BAND!!! We also scored a 91, our highest score of the season.
In Finals competition, our students performed even better, and even though we couldn’t hold on to our overall lead, we ended up with a record score for our program of 93, and placing third overall (less than 2 points out of first place). We placed top 3 in every caption overall, while holding our own against some much larger bands. Our students also represented us amazingly off the field and warranted a lot of comments from the site hosts and other bands about the impressive culture of our program! Please help us in congratulating our fine students for this historic accomplishment and for being the highest level of student ambassadors to represent our school and our state up in Georgia.
To see a video of their performance, you can click the link here: https://youtu.be/Xa7ERxG4Pdo
We are also performing at our annual Marching MPA on Saturday, November 7, at 8:15pm, at the Villages Charter High School, if anyone would like to come out and show your support for our Screaming Eagle Regiment.
