Puget Sound Festival of Bands & Eisenhower Middle School Performance

Yesterday Mackenzie's marching band hosted the Puget Sound Festival of Bands competition at the Everett Memorial Stadium. It was an all day and evening event with 27 High School bands from all over Washington and Oregon competing. Cascade Sound had two performances but they only performed as exhibition. They couldn't compete because they were hosting the event. It was fun to watch Mackenzie perform again. Steve and I volunteered for 4 hours in the morning as security. We basically walked around the stadium with our badges and walkie talkie's on and made sure no one got out of hand! Fortunately for us no one caused any trouble!
That evening before the 12 bands competed in the finals competition Brooklyn's middle schools 7th & 8th grade band performed the National Anthem. It was so fun to see Brooklyn march onto the football field and perform. They did a great job.
Here they are warming up!
Performing!
Mackenzie's band performing. There are 145 students in the band and here they are all grouped together as part of their show. The sound coming from that little cluster is amazing!
It was a gorgeous fall day yesterday and Steve and I enjoyed this view all day long! Nice job Mackenzie and Brooklyn. You both were amazing!
