Ballou High School band performs at Bandfest in Pasadena before 2009 Rose Parade

[BamBamIsTooDope]

I remember I was in this band for a the summer once, Mr. Watson (Doodie) is a funny dude and the band has so much talent and pride. I live right around the corner from Ballou, and for them to be doing what they are doing in our neighborhood is very impressive. I wish y'all the best, and keep giving the best section some light (Trumpets!)
