  • Class II Champion – Seneca High School
  • Class III Champion – Wade Hampton High School
  • Class IV Champion – Ninety-Six High School

In addition to the competing high school marching bands, the North Greenville University Marching Crusaders wowed the audience with an exhibition performance of its 2017 show “The Wizard”.  At the conclusion of competition and before awards were announced, the James F. Byrnes High School Rebel Regiment electrified the crowd with an exhibition performance of its 2017 show “Lightning In A Bottle”.

The Rebel Regiment congratulates all the competing marching bands and extends its sincere thanks to the judges, vendors and over one hundred volunteers who made the tournament possible.
