Here are the overall ratings from the CLA Concert Band Festival held yesterday in Baton Rouge, LA. Band received ratings as high as an I (superior) and low as IV (average)
West Feliciana High School I
Gramercy/Paulina 6th grade Band II
East Feliciana Middle School II
St. Martinville High School I
Baker High School (1st group) I
Baker High School (2nd group) II
Christian Life Academy I
The Dunham School II
All the bands and their directors were very classy, disciplined, and on time. Being that this festival was only 2 weeks after Mardi Gras/Parade season, I was very impressed to see directors keeping their priorities leaning toward building a COMPLETE band program. Good luck to all at District Festival.
Thanks again,
Derrick Walker
Clips will be available by Wednesday

And that's what I try to tell folks, That Bands in LA still have Concert band (Rehearsals) during parade season yet the Marching bands are going to always be visible. because of that's what the season calls for,
You don't see too many cameras at Concert band festivals though. and that's whats NEEDED.
Congrats to those bands who participated.
