District Band Competition

Today was the district competition for band! It was a COLD and WINDY afternoon but there was a lot of great music. Here is a video of part of the band's performance. The show is called the 'Heist' and is based on the movie the Thomas Crown Affair. The music was created just for the band and has been great to see it evolve from band camp this summer. The band earned a Gold rating and will advance to the regional competition in a couple of weeks. They also won best music, best visual and best general effect.** Chris plays the bass drum and he is the last on the far right!

Loved it Suzanne! So great! I played in a band through school but they were concert bands - not marching bands! Wish we had more of that up here! Thanks for sharing it! Thomas Crown Affair is a favourite movie of mine! Loved the music in it!
