Do they give awards for Best Pit Crew? If so, we think ours might take home first place! 🏆
At BOA Louisville our crew somehow found the time to weld, paint, and build props in the parking lot between prelims and finals. 🔧
They do so much behind the scenes to make our show happen, and we couldn’t do it without them! Thanks for all you do, Pit Crew! 🕷️❤️🕸️🖤

We want to give a huge shoutout to
Slim Chickens on Richmond Rd. for generously donating enough meals to feed all of our students, staff, and chaperones during our competition weekend! Keeping a marching band fueled is no small task, and this donation made a HUGE difference for our students. We are incredibly grateful for their support!

And, of course, a big THANK YOU to our Food Committee volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make sure everyone was fed, fueled, and ready to go. From organizing to serving and everything in between, we appreciate the time and effort you put into taking care of our band!

It truly takes a village to keep this program moving, and we are so thankful for everyone who helps make these experiences possible. 🐾❤️
