Overall against the 17 bands in the first half of the day Westover Drum Majors were 2nd of 17, the Color Guard was 3rd of 17 and overall our band was 6th of 17. This is quite an accomplishment since we have never competed as a Class AAA band before.
We want to thank our parent volunteers and junior high pit crew students along with alumni Caroline Davis and Nathan Pruitt for helping make this season a huge success.
The band's next performance is on November 10th at the Danville Veterans Day Pardae.
Thank you for your continued prayer and support!
Mrs. D
