Lots of bands turned out. Here's my favorite picture, for obvious reasons.
The show brought together a mix of bands--those that compete at shows around the Island and state and those that essentially serve as school boosters at football games and parades. There's a real difference in attitude between the competitive bands and others. Parents from one school, which I won't name, treated the show, which wasn't competititive, as if it were a football game, cheering its name while bands from other schools were being introduced or coming onto the field. Really tacky, rude behavior, from folks who ought to know better.
