Some more marching band results from around the nation:
Carbon HS (UT) -2nd in Class 3A, UMEA Red Rocks State Championship
Tuscarora HS (MD) – 4th Place, MMBA State Marching Championship
Woodgrove HS (VA) – 12th Place, VMBC State Marching Championship
Basic Academy (NV) – 3rd in Class A, NMBC Marching Championship
Morenci HS (AZ) – 14th Place, ABODA Division IV Contest
And one more, from Florida
Wolfson High School, Jacksonville, FL Director Cristina Ledford
Superior Rating – FBA District 17 Marching Contest
Show – The Weight of the Mind arranged by Chris Creswell
Number of Times I have done their show: 13
It was 15 years ago that I got a call from Cristina about doing a very basic show for them as they were transitioning from what has been done there in the past. The band had around 20 students. Over the years, she has come close and this time both she and the band broke through. And, I will tell you this, the show that I did for her this year was not basic. It had some “stuff” in it. I have never met her personally but she has been one of my favorites to deal with over the years (even if she roots for the Steelers). One of these days, I am going to have to travel to Jacksonville.
These are some great results. I believe this will be the last of them unless I missed one. I will be watching the 2nd week of Texas State Marching this week from the couch and play with the new version of Pyware a little more this week. And I will continue to post the drill examples this week.
