The Caldwell County High School Band of Pride competed in the Regional Marching Band Competition held Saturday at the Stadium of Champions in Hopkinsville.
The Regional Contest determined the top 6 bands in this end of the State to move on to the State Marching Band Contest to be held next weekend. For the first time in several years the local marching band not only qualified to move on to compete in the next stage of competition but also tied for 3rd place as a result of the contest. Caldwell County High School Band Director Mason Henry shared about the regional contest and his excitement about the day.

He feels like this will give the students a great send off and allow the community to show their support for the band.
