The band also received the National Outstanding Music Award.
Way to go Blue Raiders! We're very proud of you.
Jobsanger,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to personally thank you for congratulating our band. I am a member of the LD Bell Band & I just wanted to regognize the people who appreciate our hard work & commitment to what we do. We have worked hard for 3 years, building up a champion band. It is nice to see our fans support us in what we do. I think we deffinatly derserved this AMAZING honor! When we found out that we had won, the band was flowing with synergy & emotion. We have worked so hard for this. We have all put our blood, sweat & tears into our show this past marching season! We deffinatly showed the country our "awesomeness", as our director Jeremy Earnhart always says, when we marched our show in finals on Saturday. I hope you enjoyed our show & I hope that you stay a fan & I hope you like what we have to give next year & in the future years. I & the LD Bell Blue Raider Band thank you for being a fan & supporting us with what we do.
Thank you,
