DeSoto Central, MS.

DeSoto is a consistent BOA Regional finalist and they came today trying to keep the high expectation we have of them, and succeeded. Going directly after Carmel is a tough spot to draw, but with their fun and playful marionette show, it should not affect them too much as they performed at a high level and kept the focus on DeSoto rather than "the band that went after Carmel." I believe this is the first year they ditched their classic uniforms and went with the popular show specific uniform trend. It is likely we will see them again tonight.
