Beechwood High School’s Marching Band brought home its sixth state championship in the last seven years in the Kentucky Music Education Association state competition this weekend.
The Marching Tigers — 80 young musicians strong — brought home the big trophy. They were greeted by a crowd of well-wishes, complete with cheers and balloons — and promptly participated in a parade and performance.
The Tigers have dominated the state competition since 2010, winning every year but 2014. They also won in 1990 and 2006.
Joe Craig, director of the Beechwood High School Marching Band, and Adam Protor is assistant director.
