Madison Central band in state 5-A finals

Southern 11th in 4-A

By Bill Robinson
Register News Writer

LOUISVILLE — The Madison Central High School band was headed for the class 5-A finals of the Educators Association state competition Saturday night after placing fourth in the semifinals earlier in the day.

The Madison Southern Band came in 11th in the class 4-A semifinals.

The 5-A finals were to begin at 10 p.m. in the University of Louisville’s Papa Johns Stadium, making the final results too late to be published in Sunday’s edition of the Register.

“The kids are really excited,” said MCHS band director Brent Barton. “For them, this is like making the final four of the NCAA basketball tournament.”

Barton said the band, which won two grand championships and one reserve championship in competitions prior to the state tournament, turned in its best performance of the year Saturday.

“I told the band, they’ve got to give the judges one more great performance,” he said.

In the final round, MCHS was going up against Lafayette and Dunbar high schools of Lexington and North Hardin High School of Radcliff.

David Ratliff, in his fourth year as director of the Madison Southern band, said his students also gave their best performance of the year Saturday.

“Our kids were really proud as they came off the field,” he said, “because they knew they had done their best.”

The event was especially emotional for the band’s 14 seniors, Ratliff said.

“All but one or two of the seniors were freshman when I became director, and we have progressed each year together,” he said.
