Harrison H.S., GA (AAA)


The Harrison Band is a consistent Grand National finalist, a consistent regional and super regional finalist, and a recipient of the Sudler Flag.

In 2017, Harrison is expected to compete at the Powder Springs Regional and the Jacksonville Regional.

2017

At Powder Springs, Harrison won both prelims and finals, but struggled in the visual caption, which they lost to Mill Creek both rounds. However, Harrison's strength in the music caption allowed the band to keep a solid margin of almost 2 points in both rounds.

Harrison competed at the Powder Springs Regional and the Atlanta Super Regional.

At Powder Springs, Harrison finished over 3 points ahead of second place Blue Springs South. More notable, however, was the over 9 point gap ahead of Kennesaw Mountain, a group considered very competitive with Harrison as recently as last year.

At Atlanta, Harrison finished in fifth place but within a single point of third. As the first group to perform in prelims and the last group to perform in finals, the band had an extremely long and exhausting day, but managed to give two incredible performances.

2015

Harrison competed at the Powder Springs Regional, the Atlanta Super Regional, and the Grand National Championships.

Harrison placed second behind Fort Mill at Powder Springs, winning only the music caption. While we don't think that Fort Mill is a better group than Harrison, there is a strong history of Harrison losing to lesser groups at early season regionals like Powder Springs.

At Atlanta, Harrison pushed ahead of Fort Mill, placing third overall just behind LD Bell. Harrison beat LD Bell during their last appearance at Grand Nats in 2013, but since Harrison is going to Grand Nats, their season isn't over yet.

It was another Cobb County Class AAA sweep in Indianapolis, as Harrison won AAA and all the captions, placing sixth overall in semifinals. They fell a few places to ninth in finals, but still had an incredible showing in each round of competition.



2014

Harrison attended the Powder Springs Regional, the Jacksonville Regional, and the Atlanta Super Regional.

After going a whole year without competing against district rival Kennesaw Mountain at a single BOA event, these two went head-to-head at two regionals. Harrison won both the Powder Springs and Jacksonville regional putting them decisively ahead of Kennesaw Mountain. At the Atlanta regional, Harrison came in third just ahead of Wando. When they return to Grand Nats in 2015, they'll be almost guaranteed a spot in finals.

2013

The Class AAA champions finally defeated Franklin at a BOA show (1st time in three BOA events) and decisively swept captions to bring Cobb County back to back National Class Titles (Kennesaw took Class in 2012). Joe Allison put Harrison first in music GE over the typical elite and catapulted them into the top seven. Josh Ray has done a great job with that program and should be a threat to Tarpon Springs at Atlanta in the coming years if they continue on this trajectory. If Kennesaw Mountain and Harrison keep alternating year going to Grand Nats, we could see the Class AAA title stay in Cobb county for several years.
