It was a university interscholastic league region 1 marching contest held at the Dick Bivins stadium in Amarillo, Texas.
Started off with the 1st bank from Stratford High School at 10:00 am.
Followed by the Wellington High School
This was what we came to support. The band from Sunray High School where Michelle and Joshua were performing.
We left after the Sunray High School had performed. I would love to stay and watch because this is my first experience, but I have to follow the gang. I think paying $5 for admission just to enter and support our Sunray High School is a little wasteful for me. And Sunray High School was only the 3rd band playing that morning! Well, I guess the gang is used to this kind of content and I should be happy that I got that opportunity to watch 3 bands.
There were 6 classes of bands. There were 12 "A" bands, 9 "AA" bands, 3 "AAA" bands, 7 "AAAA" bands and 2 "AAAAA" bands. There are altogether 33 bands in the contest.
The 1st "A" band (Stratford HS) performed at 10:00 am and the last "AAAAA" band (Amarillo HS) was scheduled to perform at 8:30 pm.
