Marching band season is now completed for Wawasee High School, but the band did earn a bronze rating during the regional competition Saturday at Chesterton High School in northwest Indiana. Only bands finishing in the top 10 move on the next level of competition.

Wawasee earned the right to compete in the regional by receiving a gold rating Oct. 12 at the Open Class Invitational at Homestead High School, Fort Wayne. It was the first time since 2004 Wawasee had earned a gold rating at that competition.

Bands receive a gold, silver, bronze or participation rating based on their level of achievement during competitions.
