GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Several Upstate high school bands competed in the state marching band competition held Saturday.

In the 3-A competition, Greer High School took home the championship trophy. (This was our class.) It was only the second time the school has participated in the event. (This was also a serious upset - usually, Blue Ridge won state, but Greer snuck up on everyone this year!)

The bands from Union High School, Blue Ridge High School and Travelers Rest High School also placed in the competition.

In 4-A competition, Greenwood High School placed seventh and Boiling Springs placed 10th.

In the 2-A division, Pendleton High School placed third, Chapman High placed seventh and Chesnee High School placed eighth.

The band from Blacksburg High School marched home with first place in the 1-A division.
