The FVHS KIWINS club and other Fountain Valley Royal Regiment marching band supporters cheered in the bleachers as the Baron musicians entered Estancia High School football field in Costa Mesa on Saturday, October 25, 2008.
The band competed against Mission Viejo Diablo Marching Band and Color Guard, the only other school marching band performing in 5A division at the Costa Mesa WBA show.
The FVRR scored a 79.20 overall out of 100 points and received the Best Percussion 5A music caption award and Best Percussion Sweepstakes out of both 4A and 5A divisions. The colorguard\’s auxiliary score has improved greatly since last year, and the band scored only 0.75 points behind Mission Viejo from receiving first place and sweepstakes.
A freshman member in the Royal Regiment\’s pit ensemble says, “I thought that show was way better than our last show. It was really fun.”
The Royal Regiment plans to keep raising the bar and to improve their show as the season progresses into championships and finals.
