Leaving it All on the Field: Wrapping Up the 2017 Marching Season

This past Saturday the Blue Coat Regiment had one final performance of their 2017 show “The Trials,” in front of a standing room-only stadium at H. B. Plant High School in Tampa.

The students were performing at the Florida Marching Band Coalition State Championships Semi-Finals where bands from across the state were converging with hopes of claiming the top prize and moving on to the finals portion later that evening. When all was said and done the Blue Coats scored a 72.00 and placed 13th in the state!

“On behalf of the entire Program I want to congratulate our students for their tremendous spirit and the amount of hard work they put in this season. This year’s band was almost a third of students who had never marched before and to see where we are now from where we were is unbelievable. I could not be more proud,” said Director Mr. B. “It is also very important that it isn’t just the staff who got us here, but the Booster Board and volunteers. We say it a lot, but it’s because of you that we can do what we do. So thank you!”
