Seven high school marching bands from around southeast Georgia will be at Southeast Bulloch High School Saturday for the inaugural "Band Blast." After earning four Grand Champion trophies last year and finishing third in the state, Southeast Bulloch's marching band "The Swarm" will host the event, which runs from 3:30 to 9 p.m. at the school in Brooklet. Longtime SEB band director Matt Olsen and assistant band director Joey Mitchell "decided to hold a marching band event that would be more than just a competition or ratings festival," Olsen said.
