Tree Walk

Due to the weather and the expected worsening of road conditions in the next few hours, I have decided to cancel our performances in the Tree Walk. A few of us (myself included) live out of town and may have difficulty traveling in this weather.

Look how good we look! :)

YEAH BAND!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to the Blue Raider Marching Band on our DIVISION 1 rating at State!!!! Woo hoo!!!! I am so incredibly proud of every single one of you. We worked together as a team and had a GREAT performance! Thank you for all of your hard work. :)

Our total score was a 76.8 (we needed at least a 68 to earn a division 1). GREAT JOB!

I'll try to post the video on this blog later this evening.

Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday!
