Marching Cavaliers Win PRCTC’s 16th Battle of the Bands

Article presented by Pickaway-Ross CTC Adult Education

Chillicothe, Ohio — On a beautiful Friday morning,Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center came alive with music of eight home school marching bands, as they competed in the 16th Annual Pickaway-Ross Battle of the Bands. The yearly event, held at Main campus, brought together students, staff, and families for an exciting morning filled with competition and school spirit.

The event kicked off with the presentation of the trophy and plaque to last year’s champion, Chillicothe High School, for their 2023 win. By showing off their talents, eight competing bands sought to impress both their peers to earn the right to be called this year’s champion.

After a close round of voting by Pickaway-Ross students, Chillicothe High School successfully defended their title, earning back-to-back wins in 2023 and 2024. Unioto High School, champions in 2021 and 2022, came in second for the second consecutive year. Westfall High School secured a third-place finish with a strong showing.

“As we celebrate our 50th year of career-technical education at Pickaway-Ross, we were thrilled to host eight of our talented partner district bands and hundreds of community guests who came to watch,” said Superintendent Jonathan Davis. “This event is so incredibly special for our students, who are usually in their home school colors and get to show off their home school pride. At the same time, it has become a great competition for the local bands!”

The Battle of the Bands has become a signature event for Pickaway-Ross, offering students from the career center’s partner districts a chance to showcase their musical talent in a friendly competition. Pickaway-Ross students played a key role, voting for their favorite performances and ultimately deciding the winners.

The event continues to foster a sense of community pride and collaboration, making it a cherished tradition for all involved.
