The Seminole Ridge High School Winged Regiment competitive marching band recently traveled to Tampa, where it was one of 20 Class 2A bands statewide competing in the 2012 state marching band championships.
With its best performance of the year, the Winged Regiment placed third in the semifinals, and the SRHS color guard, performing its best, received the third-highest score of all guards in Class 2A.
Being one of the top five finalists qualified the band to perform again, this time that evening at the Tampa Ray Dome. The SRHS band’s finals performance earned it the title of third-place finalist in Class 2A.
“They again brought pride and honor to Seminole Ridge High School,” Band Director Tim Skinner said of the musicians and guard.
