ACHS Band heads to Indianapolis to perform in front of thousands We wish the AAA State Champion Adair County High School Marching Band good luck in the competition at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, and a safe return home on Sunday "I can't tell you what the outcome will be this evening," Director Tim Allen told his students as they prepared to leave Columbia and head to Indianapolis for competition with 90 of the nation's top bands, "but I do know this -- YOU are one of the best bands in this nation." Three yellow busses and many support vehicles which would caravan to Indianapolis competed for space. The big semi with the ACHS Band logo on the side was pulled front and center to the Lacy building this morning to load up with all the things performers must have to do their best. Inside the band room Mr. Allen read off their check lists, "are you sure you have your music, instruments, uniforms," the list was almost as long as a pre-flight check list a pilot might use before takeoff. Then he asked if they'd remembered jackets because while it was beautiful this morning, the temperatures in the evening will be cool. At about 6:45 p.m. Columbia time tonight, our band will compete with 44 others in preliminaries. The other half of the 90 bands will compete tomorrow, Friday. The top 30 bands selected from the two preliminary sessions will then compete in semi-finals early on Saturday to judge the top 12 bands who will go on to finals. The final competition between the top 12 bands willl take place Saturday evening. Hundreds of cheering students lined the drive as trucks, busses, cars and vans fell in behind the Allen's SUV leaving the school grounds, heading north.
