The Deptford School District Spartan Marching Band ended a competitive season on Nov. 2 at Hershey Park Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where it captured their second Tournament of Bands Atlantic Coast Championship.

The Spartans scored 94.55 points and the award for best music in group 2A, among similarly sized competing bands in the northeastern U.S. It marked the township band’s highest competitive score since its last ACC championship in 2014.
