The official MICCA performance arrived tonight. And with it, the DHS band performed the final show at MICCA Fest on the Friday night.
The performance included three songs that were performed quite nicely...even better than on Wednesday. And, the band sounded great.
Although Emmie and I left before awards, Kiff came home later that night and told us they earned a Silver award. Congratulations to them.
Tonight was the NESBA Finals...a culmination of the long, competitive marching band season. It has been a long season, but well worth the effort.
It was Bri's last time marching onto field the receive an award before retiring. We watched it with Kobe's mom, who was experiencing the same thing. It was a bittersweet moment.
The DHS Marching Band marched out and scored a gold with 90 points. That was good for fourth place among the eight teams - a fantastic showing!!!
This Sunday, the Danvers band took part in their final competition for NESBA in Lawrence. They performed at the football stadium at the school where they have had their dance recital in the past.
The air was cool and the night was crowded. And the Danvers band was exceptional as usual. Parking in the place was a bit challenging at times. And maneuvering around the stadium was complex. But seeing the band perform and spending time with the other crew of parents there was great.
Danvers took the stage and actually it was a super smooth, invigorating show. Even all of the speakers and special effects worked!!!
At the end of the night, Danvers took 4th place out of 5 teams (some kids were disappointed). But, they also won a gold medal. So it was a win-win!!!
