NINETY SIX, S.C. (FOX Carolina) – The Ninety Six High School Marching Band made history after winning their 12th state championship, and third in a row, this fall.

“It’s not just seen as a sport, or just an activity. It’s a lifestyle. It’s something you devote to,” Lauren Ables, drum major, said.

“It takes a lot to get the medal, it doesn’t just come to you. You have to earn it,” Chris Taylor, senior, added.

The members of the 96 High School Marching Band told FOX Carolina what it takes to make a winning team.
