The Garrett High School Railroader Regiment earned an impressive fourth-place finish in Open Class D at the ISSMA Marching Band State Finals, the highest finish among seven northeast Indiana bands competing in their respective classes
The competition ranks schools by student enrollment size, with Class A being the biggest, and D being the smallest. The event took place on Saturday, November 7 at Lucas Oil Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Under the direction of first-year director Nathan Spellman, Garrett performed its show, “Find Your Way,” showcasing the hard work, dedication and preparation of its student performers.
The fourth-place finish marked an exciting achievement for the program after placing ninth in Class C last year.
