The 35th annual Band Spectacular was a huge success at Bellefontaine High School Saturday night.

Bellefontaine and seven other area bands entertained a large crowd at AcuSport Stadium.

The Band Spectacular started as a band competition, then evolved into a fun performance opportunity for area bands.

A variety of diverse music and style were featured in each band's performance.

Bands from Riverside, Jackson Center, North Union, Triad, Urbana, Indian Lake, Benjamin Logan, and Bellefontaine participated.

The theme for the BHS band show this fall is On the Radio: Songs of Generation Z.

The featured songs are “Firework,” “Cupid Shuffle,” and “Get Lucky.”

BHS Band Director Jeremy Karg said, “We’re going with a crowd-pleaser this year. We are usually a contest band but we decided to hold off another year on contests because of the pandemic. It’s more of a modern show than what we’ve done in the past.”

“The Pride of the Tribe” will play at the 2021 Buckeye Invitational at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, October 16th.
