The Chargers visit to Elon, NC and was rewarded with the "best to date" scores from the competition judges. Not just for this season, but including every year in the 12 year history of Mr. Cottrell's reign at NHS.
The day began with an early morning practice at Northwood. The students were working with minimal sleep. The evening before, the band and most of the parents, had witnessed one of the greatest "victories" ever by the Northwood Charger football team. The Chargers defeated the "undefeated" Carrboro football team in double overtime. The band, for the 2nd week in a row", didn't get to bed on Friday night before mid-night.
Congratulations to the "NHS Charger Football Team" on a great "homecoming victory".
Now, back to the historical day in Elon. The Marching Chargers earned 1st Place in every caption, 1st Place in the 1-A / 1-AA catagory and "Band of the Day" in Class 1-A / 2-AA catagory. In addition, they continued their string of "Superior"ratings. Actual score from the judges, was a "91". The highest ever by a Marching Charger Band.
Once the Marching Chargers loaded up their "brass" and "plastic" and headed back to Pittsboro, the competition continued in Elon with the larger schools competing against each other. When the dust settled and the final awards were handed out, it was determined that the Marching Chargers would be awarded a 3rd Place Trophy in overall competition for the day, beating out such schools as "Apex and Southview". Congratulations to the Marching Charger Band and Mr. Cottrell. It was a wonderful Autumn Saturday for the Marching Chargers.
