On Saturday, October 28, the Appomattox Marching Raiders had their best run of the 2023 season. Our little band from Appomattox finished with 1st place gold in the captions of General Effect, Marching, Percussion, Color Guard and a 2nd place overall placement in our division. I could not be prouder of this group. The color guard team led by coach Brooke Rieger, was the highest scoring group in our division and defeated bands with a lot more students and coaches.
