Enka – This past Saturday, September 26th, the Maroon Devil Marching Band traveled to Enka High School for the prestigious Land of the Sky Marching Band Competition. This edition of Land of the Sky is the 42nd year that Enka has held the competition and features bands of all sizes from not only Western North Carolina, but schools from all over. For Swain it marked their first competition of the season. And if Land of the Sky is any indication Swain will be a force in future competitions.
Swain finished with a first place music trophy, first place colorguard, second place drumline, and third place drum major. The Marching Maroon Devils also garnered the top prize as they were named the First Place 1A Overall Band on the day.
Next up for the Devils will be the AC Reynolds competition on October 1st.
