Some Success

The band performed at the Garden City Classic yesterday and received Best Drum Major, Best Drumline, Superior Rating, 1st Place and Grand Champion of Division 1, A, and AA! I'm really proud of the kids and my staff and parents who work really hard! It was also really neat that their former band director who is at Dutch Fork now was also there and they did very well too. They were Grand Champions of class AAA and AAAA. He was my mentor/supervisor when I was student teaching and has since become a good friend who I look up to as well as someone whose opinion I value very much. He and his wife were very excited for us too. Our hard work is starting to pay off. We still have a lot to do but I feel like things are starting to come together and the kids are starting to realize what it is going to take in order to be successful. Way to go Swansea Tiger Band!
