Blue Coat Regiment Earns Top Rating for Fourth Year

On Saturday all 27 public high schools from Hillsborough County (plus the private Berkeley Preparatory Academy) performed at Gaither High School for the annual Florida Bandmasters Association District 7 Marching Music Performance Assessment.

Unlike a competition, Marching MPA is done for an evaluation instead of a score. Bands receive a rating of poor, fair, good, excellent or superior in the captions of marching/maneuvering, general effect, music, auxiliary/color guard and percussion, with the music caption receiving two ratings from two judges. 

The Blue Coat Regiment earned a superior rating in each caption, making this the fourth consecutive year they have earned a straight superior rating and the seventh consecutive year they have earned an overall superior rating. This also marks the eleventh consecutive year the color guard has been rated superior, and the fourteenth time since 2000. 

Below is a picture of Directors Mr. B and Mr. Miller with our seniors after receiving their senior medals and hearing they were a superior band yet again!
