The Emerald Alliance traveled to Bluffton HS to perform their 2016 show "The Dark Planet" on Saturday for the first competition of the season. The band earned a 49.1, a 6 point improvement from their opening week a year ago.
The band took 5th place, but their placement doesn't tell the whole story. The band placed first in Music General Effect, and were in second place overall in Overall Effect. The top 5 bands were separated in score by just 2.8 points.
Next week the band will travel to Concord High School to compete. The band is scheduled to perform at 4:44 pm.
