UCS bands are number one!

All four bands earn top ratings as MSBOA festival

All four Utica Community Schools bands took top honors at a recent regional competition.

Eisenhower, Henry Ford, Utica, and Stevenson bands received the top Division 1 ratings from judges at the annual Michigan School Band & Orchestra Association (MSBOA) District 16 Marching Band Festival.

More than 1,300 students from Macomb and Oakland Counties performed at the festival, held at area high schools October 13-14.

Each school’s performance was graded by three judges, one each for music, marching, and general effect.
