History of ToC
The Foothills Tournament of Champions debuted in 2019 as a collaborative effort between the Easley High School and Pickens High School bands.
To honor the legacies of two distinguished directors, the Grand Champion Trophy was dedicated to longtime Easley High School band director Barry Reese, while the Overall High Visual Trophy was named in recognition of longtime Pickens High School director David Cudd.
