Watch for some band photos coming soon, and watch the entire parade video below.

In the meantime, enjoy the following Halloweeners:

It was a day of thirds as the Ada High School Marching Band competed in their 3rd competition on Oct. 17 at the Piqua Band Invitational.  

Ada High School’s Pac-Man-themed competition show placed 3rd overall out of 11 bands competing in the combined Class B (301-500 students) and C (less than 300 students) grouping. 

The color guard received individual 3rd place recognition as well.

Marking the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is an extensive display of maps in the Elzay Gallery of Art.

The maps tell the story of death and destruction that hit the Louisiana city on Aug. 29, 2005. Many of those who were displaced and disbursed never returned.

The display, curated by Jimmy Wilson, is open from 1 to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday until Dec. 13.
