The four teams picked for finals competition at Papa Johns came from among 16 bands that participated in semi-finals competition at Christian Academy of Louisville (CAL).
Last year, the Estill County Marching Engineers Band finished second to Garrard County in semi-finals and this year the Golden Lions were the top semi-finalist again at CAL with 90.65. Estill came in second in semi-finals with 89.55.
But the Marching Engineers came “marching back” to take their second straight state championship. Garrard finished second both years.
Estill finished first in four categories (Musical Performance 2, Musical Effect, Visual Performance 1 and Visual Effect ) and second in the other two categories (Musical Performance 1 and Visual Performance 2).
The Marching Engineers had finished second in 2014 behind Garrard County. The Engineers previously had finished in 5th place in 2013.
