The End to a Memorable Marching Band Season




Marching Band season went out with a bang on Saturday, November 20th with Thanksgiving dinner and a wet and wild time at the Fairfield competition.
Thanks go to Paula Hill and Mary Yasui and all the food volunteers for organizing the delicious Thanksgiving dinner for 140 students and parents. This is an unbelievable undertaking and they pulled it off without a hitch. Thanks also to Toni Carstens for another entertaining slide show and video that covered the fun and funny activities of the season. (Look for more information soon on how to purchase the Marching Band Season 2010 DVD.)

The drive to Fairfield in sheets of rain was well worth it. The skies cleared about 20 minutes before we were to take the field and the performance was fantastic. Folsom came home with the following awards:

General Effects Sweepstakes
Class A Division - First
Woodwinds Section - First
Brass Section - Second
Percussion - Third
Auxiliary (Color Guard) - Second

Congratulations to all! Our gratitude and appreciation go out to Mr. Gaesser and his staff for another memorable season.
