The Huntington High School Blue Devil marching band took the prize in its division in the New York State Field Band Conference championship and Governor’s Cup on Sunday at Syracuse’s Carrier Dome.

According to the Huntington School District,

Huntington’s state crown capped off an undefeated fall season that saw the Blue Devils win titles at six regional invitational competitions. The band, which traces its roots to 1934 came into the 2014 campaign aiming for the state title and held nothing back along the way.

Band Director Jason Giachetti called it “a truly amazing season in every way.”

Huntington scored 88.70 in the “Large School 3” division.

This year’s field show, “Firebird,” was dedicated to Adam Spector and Gene Bennett, considered longtime supporters of the Blue Devil marching band.
