The 2016 Bands of America season has thrown its last rifle toss, taken its last breathe, and gone out to a thunderous applause from the crowd at the Bands of America Grand National Finals, presented by Yamaha. We have seen 100 bands arrive and perform at Lucas Oil Stadium. We watch 36 bands perform Saturday morning and afternoon during semi-finals. Then we watched the final 12 bands leave every ounce of summer band, rehearsals, and sectionals on the field during the last night of competitions. See who walked away with the coveted title of Grand National Champions.
