It was announced Friday that the Lockport Township High School marching band had in fact made semifinals, with a total score of 84.80 on their first performance. The last time the Marching Porters had made semifinals was three years ago.

Semifinals consisted of the top 34 bands competing for a spot in finals, which declared the best 14 bands in the nation. On Friday night the announcement of the bands that qualified for semifinals, which would take place Saturday, was made. Bands were classified by school size, meaning the Marching Porters were placed with many large schools and lots of tough competition. The results of the preliminary performances decided which bands would move on to semifinals. The preliminary rounds were the first performances in front of the judges for the bands. The first two days of the competition were preliminary performances for all bands competing. This competition took place over a span of three days, with the band performing on both Thursday, November 10 and Saturday, November 12. The Lockport Township High School marching band participated in the Bands of America Grand National Championships at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Last weekend marked the end of a great year for Lockport’s Marching Porters.
