The Knights Concert Band has known for a few weeks that they were not selected as the state honor band; however, Mr. Jennings had not received composite scores until just recently.
The TCHS band finished 2nd out of 8 submissions behind George Washington High School and ahead of Morgantown High School. They also met the minimum score of 90% to be considered as state honor band.
Directors only submit recordings of their band for consideration if they feel their band truly has a strong chance of being named the best in the state. Unfortunately, because of the current system in place, the band does not receive any trophies, runners-up titles, or other public recognition for being the second-best band in the state, regardless of class size.
So, congratulations band on your incredible hard work and months of preparation that went into this process and on being among the best in the state.
