Lafayette High School Band 1976 Contest of Champions Final Performance.avi

I, Rory Strentz, was a drummer in the band. That's me playing snare drum in the middle of the drum line. It's hard to believe it was so long ago. Seems like yesterday. The band exiting the field right before us is E. D. White.

The musicality yanks the tears out of me!

P.S. I was admiring the snare parts, even before I knew it was you! Rory, Wendy McConnell, piccolo, somewhere on the left. I now play organ, and you are invited to Christ the King, Lafayette, any time!!!🕊️❤️

Woah it’s crazy to see the band killing it even then

[@aaronlaughlin2389]

Well musically but marching has changed vastly

[@roarmann]

Lafayette, Louisiana. Thanks for watching.

[@AHProctor]

Very nice show. Which state is this and where was this contest (obviously not MTSU in Murfreesboro).

Ritter graduated from the school across the pasture! Acadiana Class of '75. At the time of this video he was a member of the Pride of Acadiana Marching Band.

I love how the camera can’t even pick up all the sound

LHS always great and Mr Kenney was a wonderful band director. One of my favorites.
