Headed to Drums

Following band camp this week at Indiana Wesleyan University, the Jay County High School Marching Patriots will compete Saturday night in the Drums at Winchester. Pictured, Jase Walter plays the quads during last weekend’s Spirit of Sound contest at Muncie Central. The Drums at Winchester, which will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday, is the final contest before the Indiana State Fair and will feature 23 bands. The Marching Patriots are scheduled to take the field at 9:53 p.m. Show times for other top bands based on results so far this summer include Centerville at 7:09 p.m., Richmond at 8:12 p.m., Anderson at 8:39 p.m. and Kokomo at 9:44 p.m. (Muncie Central, which finished first at both its home contest and the Jay County Lions Band Contest, will not be in competition Saturday.)
