| Florida Marching Band Competition State Finals |
Huge congratulations are in order for the Springstead High School Marching Eagle Brigade for all the work they put in this year for their show “West Side Story”.
 |
| Attitude Much? |
There was just something about this show that grabbed your attention and held it the entire time. From the smooth solos to the volume swells and visuals…from the first blast of the band in “Maria”, your attention is theirs.

| Tropicana Field – St. Petersburg, FL |
This is my second year as both a band parent and one of the myriad sponsors of the band and I am duly impressed. Band Director Richard Dasher does a wonderful job helping these teenagers come together and work hard (and boy, do they work hard…) for a common goal. And make no mistake, this is a team sport with over 100 kids on the moving on the field while playing instruments and twirling flags at any given time and over 20 judges looking for the tiniest mistakes so they can dock points from your “perfect score” of 100.

| Absolutely incredible to play in a venue like this! |
These kids have a passion for this…during the season they eat, sleep, and breath it. They practice 4-9 hours/day, 5-6 days/week with a pre-season “band camp” of 8 hour days every day for a week. They play at every football game, at Disney World, and at Festivals on weekends all around Florida’s Gulf Coast, often getting on the bus before 9am and driving several hours in each direction to get to the venue, play, and then come home to do homework at 10pm or later (we’ve picked ours up from the school as late as 1 am).

25 Bands performed at Tropicana Field
(5 bands per division, 5 divisions based on the size of the band) |
It was wonderful to see them perform, and to help support them however we could. Natalie and I look forward to doing it again next year and watching them continue to grow.
So again – Congratulations, Eagles – You Know Who Rocks!
