Woodruff High Marching Band Places Highest in History

3rd Place in State Finals

Even a flooded field couldn’t stop the Marching Cadets of Woodruff High School during this year’s state finals.
Despite inclement conditions during their performance, the Woodruff High Marching Band came away with a 3rd place finish at the state finals, which was held at Batesburg-Leesville High School near Columbia, SC on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2009.
Marching Band Director Barry Wash said it rained heavily earlier during the competition and that by the time Woodruff High performed there was standing water on the field. “The band before Woodruff performed in a storm, and there was six inches of standing water when we took the field,” Wash said. “It even rained some during our performance.”
This is the highest that Woodruff has ever placed at state finals for marching band, and Wash said he is more than happy with the results. “We’ve gone from 11th to 9th to 6th to 3rd in 4 years. I’m very pleased,” Wash said.
Nevertheless Wash still wants to keep pressing on towards 1st place. “We hope to keep moving up the ranking for next year. I’m already having sleepless nights trying to figure out what our theme for next year will be.”
