Competing against 42 bands from the southeast, Tarpon Springs, one of only 4 bands from the state of Florida, advanced through the preliminary competion mid-day on Saturday. Tarpon was one of twelve (12) bands that ultimately advanced to the finals on Saturday night, among some of the largest and most accomplished bands in the region..

Tarpon Springs was also earned "Outstanding Music Performance" (tied with Kennesaw Mountain HS), "Outstanding Visual Performance", and "Outstanding General Effect" awards in the competition.

We want to exend a sincere THANK YOU to all of our corporate and individual supporters, parents, and instructors who graciously contributed their time, effort, and money to make this wonderful experience possible for our students. Without you, this nationally accomplished program that focuses on character and integrity in our students could not provide these life-changing experiences for our youth!
