ValleyFest 2012 video

This is our Marching show 2012 "A Celtic Fanfare" at one of our last performances, ValleyFest 2012. (I finally found the video I promised back in, like, October)  This competition is hosted by West Des Moines Valley High School in Des Moines, Iowa, and is a bigger deal than State competition in regards to prestige and recognition. To get a high place at Valley is quite an honor indeed. Even though we did not get a very high place, our Directors were very pleased with our score and said that we did very well this season, especially marching so many "fresh meat" marchers and over 2/3 of our band being sophmores and freshman, (almost all who had no marching experience). This is our show:

This is the original youtube video, added by a Valleyfest judge/host person. Feel free to look up other bands performing at Valleyfest as well, they were all very good performances.

P.S. I'm down in the Pit (frontline percussion) I play the bells (high metallic "ting-y" sounding instrument doing alot of fast moving line parts) on the first and last piece(you'll know it when you hear it) , and the vibrophone on the ballad (you really can't hear me in the reccording due to the nature of the instrument).
