The BAND PLAN:

EARLIER REPORT:

Muncie Central finished 2nd, behind Kokomo in the prelims for the Indiana State Fair Band Contest.  Chuck Reynolds tells MCS CEO Lee Ann Kwiatkowski that “Best Music” award goes to to Central from that session, and the Central performance will be at 10:26 p.m. – the second to the last group to compete.  We were also told that Decatur County’s performance was delayed due to a travel/equipment problem.   Awaiting the final results from the session, and the total list of the Sweet 16.
