The Rome Free Academy Marching Band competed in its first competition of the season on Saturday, September 7th, at Jordan-Elbridge High School. The Black Knights placed first in their new division, Large School 2, after finishing last season as state champions in Large School 3. The band scored higher on Saturday than any other band in Large School 2 across the state.
