They were good, and entertained the crowd:) They actually ranked 24th overall out of 55 bands. The 5th place was out of 9 bands in their class A division only. There were a total of 7 divisions....55 bands total.

Not bad considering that not playing an approved march from the SCSBOA list results in a full 9.0 penalty. The band was probably also docked additional points for stopping in the street. It's interesting to think that without a deduction of 9 points the band could have had a score of 93.2. I wonder where that would have put them in the overall rankings, then? Anyhow, I doubt winning was their motive, but rather to entertain the crowd with an impressive performance. Great job Reedley High!!

[Music213]

Yeah I agree. If they had used an actual parade block of say 9 across 10 to 12 rows back and an approved march, they would have done some real damage and scored in the 90s, easily:) BUT they were by far the best entertaining band and the crowd really did enjoy it. A score of 93.2 would have put them right between Golden Valley (class A-95.25) and Armijo(class AA-92.55).

Also, for the Band Review Reedley attended, it's an NCBA event, not SCSBOA and NCBA does not have an approved list of marches so bands are free to play/perform whatever they choose.

[tileblock13]

Haha I see me! Santa Cruz was bomb, I'm so proud of us =D

[JDEPCOR]

There is no approved list of marches for NCBA judged events. You can play any march. "Georgia on my mind" does not constitute a march. According to the recaps they were only penalized 1 point. They were entertaining though.

[monacheband4life]

we do rows of 7 ppl so man if they did that it would be long!!! yea reedley is entertaining cuz they dance and they play cool jazz songs for marches haha i like the dancing part alot

[monacheband4life]
