WOW! What an AMAZING experience our Marching Gaels had at the BOA Regional competition at Rutgers! After a great preliminary performance and meeting our goal of placing in the top half of bands (and 2nd in Class AA!), the Marching Gaels competed with many amazing bands from NJ, PA, VA, and NC and came in 5th overall in finals! I have to give a shoutout to whichever parent called us ‘The Little Band that Could’ because almost all the other groups at the top were much bigger, yet the Marching Gaels hung in there! Sometimes it takes a real challenge to provide an opportunity to grow, and our students did not shy away! It’s amazing what they can do when they lean into the struggle and work together! Congrats and well-earned!
