The following is a news release from Bay District Schools:

Panama City, FL - A Crawford Mosley High School band has been named by the John Philip Sousa Foundation as a finalist for the Sudler Flag of Honor. The purpose of this distinguished award is to identify, recognize, and honor high school band programs internationally that have demonstrated particularly significant high standards of excellence in concert activities over a period of several years. No higher honor can be bestowed on a high school band, and only three bands in Florida have ever received the Sudler Flag.
