Pictures of all the schools from across the state would have been really appreciated.
…and so it goes!

nice photos,apparently the other schools participating do not warrant any photo coverage.

one photo per school would have given 16 schools a little coverage.instead,four schools hog all of the limelight.tom eblen obviously cares nothing about fair news coverage

Have been to these contests & not all bands play in the a.m. Eblen’s alma mater is Lafayette, so criticisms appear foolish.

Appreciate the coverage. It’s nice to see something other than football or basketball. Band students are some of the hardest working students no matter what size the band. Maybe there could be a link where others can post photos from today.

SHAME SHAME SHAME, out of several judges only ONE single judge ranked West Jessamine lower than 4th place knocking them out of the State Finals which they so deserved. They missed it my .009 of a point. SHAME SHAME SHAME on that judge. These kids deserved to go to finals.
