Bassett High School Marching Band 2009 - William Byrd Competition

This is the 2009 BHS Marching Band in our first competition.
We placed 1st in Group V Competition and received awards for:
Best Music
Best Visual
& Best Effect
as well as the David Vail Award.

Sorry for the horrible lighting, it was because of two reasons. (1) The lighting on my camera was set for inside (or 3 above normal) and my parents had no idea how to fix it and (2) when I went back to edit this and make it darker i could only go so far. In order to get the colors to look right it have to look like night. Please enjoy as is.

Well it ended up being like I thought. Cary gave Bassett a run for their money lol. Great job on first place to both schools : )

[Rocdar12]

Thx, but just wait for Nationals... :D

We just finished the show at practice the other day and we should be performing all of it this weekend at NW Guilford. It's absolutely amazing in my opinion.

You're welcome but it's Rocky without and E.  :D

I enjoyed your show last year; you definitely deserved first (again). :D I'm from Byrd. We always look forward to seeing Bassett perform.

There are Intervals everywhere.. good show though the Carolina crown 2006 show was a good opener

This Jim, the percussion instructor at JF. First I want to apologize for Falco91 and his arrogant comments. Please know that he/she do not represent our band and program what-so-ever. I will give credit where credit is due. You had a great show last year and I was very entertained by it. Also I am a good friend of Teddy's and had the priviledge to watch your battery in the lot last year and Nats. and man you guys were smokin' hot. Have a great Spring break!

I don't know about Bassett being THE best band in Virginia, but def ONE of the best. This was a great show. Interesting theme. Nice visuals too!

I absolutely love the start of this show. Guard is amazing, the music is perfect, and for once, I'm not completely put off by the voice over. It works so well, and the theme is so unique. What an outstanding group.

Seriously, like I said last time, Bassett is the best band in Virginia, by far. Idk what this attitude with JF and their crap don't stink is coming from, but when you score near the lower end of the competition, that should tell you you're not. JF is very far from being real competition with Bassett. I'll be nice and say you still are one of the best bands on VA. Work on a more comprehensive show with more challenging music and drill, and your scores will get much better.
