Traverse City Parade Results are IN!

11/4/2014

0 Comments

 
After an unusually long wait, we have finally received the parade results from the National Cherry Festival!  I am pleased to report that LVW was the highest scoring band in both Thursday's Junior Royale Parade and Saturday's Cherry Royale Parade.  Along with the two first place award plaques, we received the adjudicator sheets as well as recaps with all of the scores.  

Here are a few of the comments from the judge's sheets (verbatim - capitalization and punctuation):

General Effect Sheets:

Marching and Maneuvering Sheets:

"Shine On" Boys and Girls.  Great Band to end the parade

Wasn't that fun?  I especially liked the comments about LVW being a "crowd pleaser" and that we have "fun", and at the same time have a quality band with lots of precision.  Being both entertaining to the audience AND technically awesome is a goal for LVW.  Having fun while being great - can it get any better?

Here are the scores from Thursday's Junior Royale Parade (one class of bands):
5.  123.8    Janesville Green Beret
4.  154.8     Hastings High School
3.  155.0     Bullock Creek
2.  160.9     Sound of Sun Prairie
1.  168.2     Lutheran Vanguard of Wisconsin

For Saturday's Cherry Royale Parade, the bands were divided into four classes, based on size of band:

Class A
2.  128.00     Shadow Armada
1.  171.90     Sound of Sun Prairie

Class B
