The Marching Eagles millennial campaign was topped off November 11th at 8:00 pm when they performed in the Bands of America Grand Nationals Finals for the first time in the school's history. Bellbrook is only the second class 'A' band to be afforded such an honor in the 25 years of BOA competition.
The band captured the Class 'A' Grand Nationals title for the 5th time including top honors for Music, Visual and General Effect. The dome was hushed as the finals bands were announced, especially when the selection came down to the 12th and final band. After a heart-stopping wait, Chuck Henson (the voice of BOA) announced "... and our 12th band to perform in finals is --- THE BELLBROOK HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND ---". The crowd cheered wildly as supporters from all over the Dayton area joined with Bellbrook parents in congratulating the band on their accomplishments.
The band drew first position for their finals performance and did not disappoint the crowd or the judges with their rendition of "Tyranny of the Clock". When it was all over, the Marching Eagles were awarded 11th place with a score of 87.10. In semi-finals, Bellbrook's score was 88.05.
Now, it's on to the Citrus Bowl Festival where the Marching Eagles will perform "Tyranny of the Clock" one more time!
