All seven Birmingham City Schools high school marching bands performed at G.W. Carver High School today in the All-City Marching Band Festival, with each school earning at least two superior ratings.
But it was the A.H. Parker High School Mighty Marching Bison who walked away with the big trophy -- the Dr. Frank E. Adams, Sr. Grand Champion Award!
The All-City Middle School Drumline kicked things off, followed by the high school bands. The last performance combined all bands for two numbers.
