Competition Results: 2016 George Wythe Band Festival
Congratulations to the Marching Colonels for their performance at the George Wythe Band Festival on Saturday, October 15! The band performed in class 2A. The band received an “Excellent” (II) rating for their performance. Additionally, out of four bands in the class, our group received 1st place percussion, 2nd place drum major, and 3rd place general effect. We were 0.40 points away from receiving 3rd place in music, and 1 point away from 3rd place overall in the 2A class.
We are very proud of the work these students did to improve from our first competition performance on October 1. These young musicians have elevated the level of our ensemble and are helping us move to the next step in growth and musical excellence. Saturday’s success motivates us to keep improving before our final competition.
The Cavalier Classic at Lord Botetourt High School is on October 22, 2016. The performance time for the Marching Colonels is 3:15 PM. We hope that you will consider taking the short drive to support us at this local “home” show. These students have worked very hard since mid-July to create a performing group that entertains and supports our school community. Let’s fill the stands at our final competition and show them our appreciation!
Thank you for your continued support of William Fleming Bands!
