Who's Got the Groove? Gainesville's Top High School Football Bands

When the football season kicks off, everyone's eyes are on the field. The players and coaches get all the glory, and rightfully so. They plan, they strategize, and they put their bodies on the line every Friday night. But there's another group that spends just as much time prepping for game day—the band. These musicians are the unsung heroes of the stands. They march, they play, and they hype up the crowd, all while keeping perfect time. And the best part? Size doesn't matter. Whether a school has 2, 000 students or 500, the band can still bring the house down with the same set of instruments. Now, it's your turn to decide who's the best of the best. A poll has been set up to crown the top high school football band in the Gainesville area. From Dixie County to Palatka, all 23 bands are in the running. You can vote as many times as you want, so make sure to spread the word. But hurry—the poll closes at noon on Saturday, November 1st. So gather your friends, family, and fellow band enthusiasts, and let your voice be heard. Who's got the groove? The choice is yours.
