The Charger Brigade, Pike Central band director Chris Ash- worth noted, finished in the top half of the 19 bands competing in Class B, which limits bands to no more than 55 participants. "The kids were very pleased with their placement," Ashworth said. "At the beginning of the season, they set a goal to reach a certain score, and they achieved that." "In marching band, it is not al- ways about getting first," Ash- worth added. "Setting goals, reaching them, and going further each year is what we strive for." South Vermillion placed first in Class B, followed by Evans- ville Memorial, Washington, Sa- lem and Corydon Central. "At finals, they place the top five bands," Ashworth said. "We were ninth, but there was only a one- point difference between us and fifth place." A fter placing second in the Springs Valley Festival of March- ing Bands on Sept. 29, the Char- ger Brigade received a gold rating with a distinction in music during the ISSMA Scholastic Prelims at Jasper on Oct. 6, to earn a berth in the Scholastic Class Finals. "At prelims, we had worked hard to improve on all the areas the judges had mentioned we needed work," Ashworth said. "At finals, we had to compete in cold- er temperatures and high winds. The winds were gusting up to 30 miles an hour, which made it very difficult for the color guard, and the cold temperatures made it tough for the winds and percus- sion to have good intonation." Ashworth said that the Char- ger Brigade had "very high" music and visual effect scores but its mu- sic ensemble scores were "low." "This was due to several fac- tors, including malfunctioning electronics, intonation issues due to cold weather, and the over- all difficulty of the music," Ash- worth said. "With the nerves of being at State Finals, the students had a lot of factors against them." "However, they performed re- ally well, they conducted them- selves with dignity, and had one of their best shows," Ashworth add- ed. "We will continue to work to develop our marching and playing techniques as we look into next year! " Seniors Ashley Dulworth and Maggie McDonald served as drum majors for the 46 -member band, which included color guard and percussionists. This year's show was titled, "Journey to the Red Planet," which was based on a seven-movement orchestral suite, "The Planets," written by British composer Gus- tov Holst between 1914 and 1916. Each of the seven movements of Holst's suite are named after a planet of the solar system – Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune – and its corresponding astrological char- acter.
