Congratulations Blue Eagle Marching Band! If you haven't checked out the video, you should.The difficulty and the precision of their formations is unbelievable. As a new band parent (the old-timers call us Rookies), I didn't know what to expect coming into the year. The practices are long and the competition schedule is time consuming. Hard work does pay off!
Kudos to Bill Bondal and his staff. Another thank you to the Vigilance Fire Company for their escort from the Walmart back into town.
I would also like to mention that Principal Mr. Alan Davis has provided praise and support all year to the band students.
