PREVIEW OF CHAMPIONS (Last Saturday)
We had a GREAT weekend! We took 2nd in our class in the prelims competition, I was expecting to take 2nd or 3rd. (There were 4 bands in each class)
We, then, placed 7th in finals competition, which is an open class format (meaning no class divisions, all bands in one big class). Knowing of all the competing bands, I had expected to come in 9th or 10th. The kids outdid themselves and I am so proud of them.
Way to go Titan Pride!
