FVRR\’s “The Silk Road” Scores Their Highest So Far
FVRR\’s “The Silk Road” Scores Their Highest So Far
Marching Band Places 4th, with improving scores
Michelle Doan, Visual Arts Manager
After spending most of their Friday night last week at the Edison Bell Game in Cal State Fullerton, the Fountain Valley Royal Regiment (FVRR) marching band woke up the next day to travel to Riverside Community College for a Western Band Association (WBA) competition.
The FVRR placed fourth with a score of 85.50 out of 100 with their “The Silk Road” show performance, their highest score in the 2009 marching season so far.
They competed against four other highly competitive high school marching bands in the 5A division, including Ayala High School, that placed first with a total score of 91.15 and swiped all the caption awards.
FVRR also received second place in the General Effects and Best Percussion caption awards. Despite placing fourth place overall, the band placed close behind and is improving in pace as compared with the other bands.
“It was a typical competition,” says Jeffrey Wang (‘12), “But although we usually lose to the big bands by small numbers, the competition is like a tug-a-war and we are fighting for every tenth of a score.”
FVRR\’s next competition will take place Saturday, November 14 at Trabuco Hills High School, performing at 9 pm.
