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.
“Thank you to the band families, and to the Deptford High School and Deptford Middle School staff and admin for your efforts in supporting the program,” the district posted on Facebook. “Congratulations to the students, (marching band director) Mr. Jack Franchi and his staff on all the hard work, which led to this phenomenal achievement.”
