Congratulations Carmel Marching Greyhounds!
2013 Bands of America
Indianapolis Super Regional Champions

On Saturday evening, November 9, 2013, the Carmel Marching Band was named Champion in the Bands of America Indianapolis Super Regional competition.  38 bands from across the nation, primarily from the Midwest, performed in competition with the bands divided into 4 classes (A,AA,AAA,AAAA) by band size.

“I’m so proud of what our students, parents, and staff members have accomplished this season.  It’s truly a labor of love and a total team effort to make a production of this scale come to life.  I absolutely cannot wait to see these kids have the performance of a lifetime on Saturday night at Grand National Finals.  Whatever the results, I know that they will carry the lessons learned and the friendships they have developed through the rest of their lives.”

In preliminary results, Carmel won (or tied) all captions for Outstanding Music (tied with Avon), Outstanding General Effect and Outstanding Visual.  Following Carmel in second place was Avon(IN) HS, with Lake Central(IN) HS placing third.
