Kell High School Marching Band named Grand Champions

Oct. 17—The Kell High School Marching Band, under the direction of David Roth and Taylor Watts, performed a show on Oct. 8 titled "Heavy Metals," which featured music by AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Metallica at the Legacy of Champions Marching Band Competition hosted by Carrollton High School.

Because of their outstanding preparation and performance, they were named the 2022 Grand Champions with a score of 94.5. This honor is reserved for the highest scoring band of the day regardless of band classification.

Kell's band entered the competition in AAA classification and were also awarded the Silver Division Championship trophy, but because they outscored the Gold Division Champion, Fayette County High School, Kell was also awarded the top honors of Grand Champion.
