Lemon Bay High Marching Mantas Earn Superior Rating at State Assessment

The Lemon Bay High School Marching Mantas earned an Overall Superior Rating at the 2025 Florida Bandmasters Association Marching Band Music Performance Assessment held at Powell Davis Stadium.

The award marks another successful season for the Englewood-based ensemble, which came within one caption rating of receiving straight superiors for the second consecutive year. Band members, staff, and supporters celebrated the recognition as a reflection of months of preparation, from summer band camp through the fall performance season.

Directors and boosters praised the students for their dedication, teamwork, and attention to musical and visual detail. “This season was all about growth and pride, and it showed,” a school representative said.

The Marching Mantas plan to continue building on their tradition of excellence in future performances and competitions.
