The Eastridge Lancers Marching Band closed out the 2012 competition season with a third place finish at the New York State Field Band Competition this past Sunday, Oct. 28, at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse.
The Lancers' score of 88.05 was eight-tenths of a point behind second place finisher New Hartford in the Small School 1 Division.
Medina took the top spot out, with a score of 91.70, of eight bands competing in the division.
The 2012 season was the most successful in recent years for the Lancers, which performed a "Red," as in Little Red Riding Hood, themed show. Their campaign included their first win in a competition since 2005. They took first place at a competition in Cicero-North Syracuse.
This year was the band's best finish at the State Championships since 2003 when they also placed third. The band has had six state championships in the past.
The band is under the direction of Jeff Hoffman
