As I was listening to this performance against the Arcadia Festival of Band’s I believe that this was a smidge slower. Of course there were obvious differences between the two performance visually (specifically with the guard blocking and performance). I realize that both times I REALLY enjoyed listening to this March. Perhaps your class division at AFOB put you in a spot that was really tough. But that gave you a great idea as to where you rank amongst the SoCal Bands. I’m still very impressed by your overall performances and the ability for a large group as you are, that you were able to adjust to the requirements for AFOB. I’m not aware of any NorCal bands being able to accomplish that. I’ve seen a few starting with Benicia in 1998 at Maytime. It really is awesome. At this point, all I have to say is that you have a fan watching you all the way out here on Guam ready to root for you next season. Kudos to you all and keep making awesome music.
Great job MSJ! One of my favorite marches being performed :)

I don’t know what it is but I LIKE the guard uniform.
¡Buen trabajo Misión San José!
