Marching season came to an end Monday for the DHS Marching Panthers, who traveled to Pueblo for the state marching band championships. Ten Class 2A schools took the field for the semifinals; five, including Delta, advanced to the finals later in the day. Class 2A was won by D’Evelyn High School. Delta came in fifth, but turned in what many considered their best performance of the year. The band is directed by Andrew Bruington and Ryan Bigley and supported by a hardworking group of band parents.
