POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. (KBSI) – Poplar Bluff High School’s Sho-Me Marching Band placed second out of 14 bands in Class 5A, the most competitive division.

The band advanced to the finals during the 21st annual Potosi Bi-State Invitational that held in October.

The PBHS percussion and color guard sections held the second-highest scores of the day. Scoring is based on the difficulty of the routine and how the playing matched with the overall band sound, according to Director Stephen Winters.

“We are so proud of the work the students have been doing this year,” Winters said. “We have the largest competitive band in Southeast Missouri and they represented Poplar Bluff well.”

The Sho-Me Band completed the festival season the following week by finishing fourth overall out of 22 bands on Saturday, Oct. 21 during the Rebel Park Hill Marching Invitational.
