Looking Back at the 2007 Marching Band Season

While a 1st place win would have been a great way to end the season, EVERYONE is proud of what all of the students accomplished this season! Think back to what all of you started with during the 100F+ days of July and August in band camp . . . . and thinking just how high that mountain seemed in front of you before the season started. But it all came together as the Purple Regiment spent hours on the practice field under the guidance of Mr. Wells, Mr. Yost and the other staff members.

The season that just finished up in Batesburg-Leesville was probably one of the hardest we have ever been through in terms of the overall caliber of bands we competed against. Think about BOA . . . . with 22 Class AAA Bands versus less than half that number in past years. Despite the level of other bands that were there, we still out-performed 15 other bands and just barely missed the finals.

South Carolina State Championships . . . . . here we once again showed the level at which our students perform. Let's keep it in perspective - the Purple Regiment is ranked 2nd best 4A band in the upper half of the state of South Carolina and the 4th best 4A band in the entire state! Just think about how many bands would hope to be rated as highly as we are . . . and this only happened thanks to the effort each and every band member put forth, the guidance provided by Mr. Wells and his staff, and the countless hours the parents put in to make everything run as smoothly as it did.

NEVER SELL YOURSELF SHORT AS FAR AS WHAT ALL OF YOU ACCOMPLISHED THIS SEASON . . . . YOU ARE ALL WINNERS IN THE EYES OF NORTHWESTERN HIGH SCHOOL AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IN THE EYES OF ALL OF US PARENTS!
