<P> During the 2009 - 2010 school year the Anderson Community School board voted to close Highland High School . That summer the Anderson , and Anderson Highland bands merged , keeping the name Marching Highlanders but now representing Anderson High School . Going into Band Day the Muncie Southside Spirit of South was the favorite to win the championship , they won every competition they entered that year , but they finished 3rd in prelims behind Anderson and Richmond . Southside moved to second in finals and the combined Anderson High School Marching Highlanders won the championship . Becoming the fourth school to win 6 championships previously winning in 1957 , 1958 , 1959 , 1985 , and 1986 . In 2011 Doug Fletcher left Anderson to become the director at Winchester Community High School where he was director from 1994 - 1998 . In finals that year The Force of Winchester , competing as a small band , won their second championship by a mere . 05 of a point of the Red Devil Marching Band from Richmond , the closest finish in Band Day history . In 2012 the three classes were renamed Class AAA , Class AA , and Class A. That year The Force moved up to Class AAA and won their 2nd consecutive championship , and their 3rd overall . In 2013 Winchester won once again becoming the fifth band to win 3 championships in a row and having the second highest score ever with a 92.70 . In 2014 the contest was moved to the second day of the fair as many schools began going to school earlier . In November 2013 the Muncie Community School board voted to close Muncie Southside High School . Much like with Anderson in 2010 the bands from Muncie Central High School and Muncie Southside High School combined for the 2014 season with a new name , Spirit of Muncie . Going into Band Day The Force was undefeated and appeared that they would win their fourth consecutive championship , however the Spirit of Muncie scored a 91.6 in prelims , the highest score ever in prelims , and beat Winchester by . 65 of a point . In finals the Spirit of Muncie scored a 92.35 to bring the championship back to Muncie for the first time since 2008 and the first time for Muncie Central since 1953 . The Spirit of Muncie will not defend their title in 2015 . In 2015 Winchester Community High School went undefeated for a second time and ended their season with a championship for the first time and the second highest score State Fair Band Day history . Winchester would go on to win their sixth championship the following year , 2016 . In 2017 , The Marching Millers from Noblesville High School won their 2nd championship ( 1952 ) . </P>
