Pioneer Band earns Superior Ratings in State Marching Competition with Amanda Lucy

Congratulations to the Batesville Band on their First Division Rating at the State Marching Contest! Congratulations to our incredibly talented students and wonderful directors and staff for making this possible. We appreciate everyone who came out to support them. What does a Superior Rating mean?Based on the total points we receive, we get a rating of 1-5, with one being the best. It’s very tough to get a 1 (aka: superior rating, aka first division) at state. We ranked 11th over all in the state out of 19 teams. The top score in our division received 88 points and we scored 80.75! We haven’t had superior ratings/first division in state in over 5 years so this is a huge accomplishment for our program.
