What a great contest! I was certainly impressed by the bands and definitely have some new favorites. Wakeland never ceases to impress and I couldn’t help but to admire all the beautiful sounds and clean marching. Thoroughly enjoyed this show and I wish them the best of luck on Tuesday. One band that I was pleasantly surprised with, and most of the crowd it seemed as well,was the Lake Ridge band. A very interesting and entertaining show that definitely caught and captivated the crowd as, basically, a whole. What a fast paced, high energy show with interesting arrangements of The Rite of Spring, Holst as well as music featured from signs. I’m intrigued to see how the 2nd year school places in the state contest against all the big boys, but I feel as if they will leave an impression. Best of luck to all bands advancing!
