Bartlesville Bruin Brigade Wins Class Championship in Arizona
Nathan Thompson
The Bartlesville High School Bruin Brigade marching band earns another championship, this time in Arizona.
The Bruin Brigade competed at the Bands of America Regional Championship Saturday at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Ariz. The Brigade was one of 22 high school marching bands from Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.
Plagued by weather delays, the Bruin Brigade was finally able to take the field at 8:30 p.m. Arizona time, and earned championship honors, high music, high visual and high general effect in their class.
The Brigade was named a Bands of America finalist band for the first time in the program's history. Unfortunately, due to the weather delays, the finals competition was canceled.
Last weekend, the Bruin Brigade was named Grand Champion at the Broken Arrow Invitational.
The Bruin Brigade's next competition will be Renegade Review on Oct. 11 at Union High School in Tulsa as one of 19 bands from Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
