The JA Band and families returned home this evening after a very successful and enjoyable weekend in St. Louis. Please scroll down to look through the blog posts below from the weekend for some photos and information, and be sure to look through the online PHOTO GALLERY and the FACEBOOK PAGE (both also linked in the menu bar above), for many more photos from the weekend.
To recap the achievements of the band at the BOA St. Louis Super Regional, they competed with 52 bands from 14 states and were awarded:
BEST MUSIC, Class A
BEST VISUAL, Class A
BEST GENERAL EFFECT, Class A
CLASS A CHAMPIONS
As Class Champions, they performed in exhibition as the last band on the field during Finals Saturday night, in front of an estimated crowd of 15,000 in the stands, not to mention those who subscribed to the live webcast. The crowd at the Edward Jones Dome responded to JA's performance with an enthusiastic standing ovation.
Thank you to the students for not only their hard work and outstanding performances, but also their exemplary behavior on the trip. Thanks also to the parents who came along to help, especially to Terri Fisher, who organized the group.
