State Champion Winter Performance

The PHS Winter Performance Ensemble (winter guard and winter drumline) had a GREAT weekend!

The PHS band department won its first-ever state championship this weekend at the I.H.S.C.G.A. Class 3A State Finals hosted at Franklin Central High School in Indianapolis.

Plymouth had to compete against 35 other high schools (nearly 4 hours of non-stop competition). Plymouth achieved an almost unheard of CLEAN SWEEP of every judge on the panel (total of 6 judges in 12 categories). Plymouth placed 1st (out of all 36 schools involved) in every single category at the event!

This is the first state championship the band department has ever earned and also the first time in PHS history that a group from Plymouth earned an additional Gold Rating at this event.

The same day, the winter drumline performed at the I.P.A. State Prelims at Avon High School competing against 20 other high schools. Plymouth had a GREAT performance at this event and also advanced to the state finals for the first time ever in Class 2A! The I.P.A. state finals will be this coming weekend at Ben Davis High School.
