The instrumental group had their first performance on an actual field at Hamilton High School.
Rain has prevented the students from showcasing their skills with drill for the past two weeks, meaning this competiton is the first true perfomance for the band.
“I liked doing the swing flags because it shows off all of our skills and because everyone is together,” said Olivia Jobe, 9.
This performance was also an Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) based competition instead of Bands of America (BOA), which has different categories and scoring compared to what the band is used to.
The next competition will be on Sat., Oct. 1, at Lebanon High School, and will enable the band to further their show, playing all three songs of their show.
![THAT’S SO FETCH. “Mean Girls,” a popular film directed by Mark Waters features a new student, Cady Heron, who is bullied by the popular students. During the movie, she undergoes friendship and bullying problems. But, by the end of the movie, she solves her problems and makes peace with the bullies. “Almost everyone has watched [“Mean Girls”] once, if not a couple times. It is just a go-to when you’re with your girls,” said Debasmita Kanungo, 11.](https://shsleaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/weissblogmeangirlsphoto-300x424.jpg)
