Marching Band Gets Fifth Consecutive
'Superior'...
The Gulf High School Marching Buccaneers presented
this year's halftime show entitled A Southwestern Saga.
The band saddled up and headed out to the old west as they performed
music dedicated to the 'Cowboy Way'. The Bucs performed: "The
Magnificent 7" by Elmer Bernstein, "Hoedown"
by Aaron Copland (which features our percussion section), "Red
River Valley", and closed with an arrangement of John
William's "The Cowboys". After months off hard
work and determination, the Marching Buccaneers received their
fifth consecutive overall superior rating at their annual Florida
Bandmasters Association's District 5 Marching Performance Assessment
at Citrus High School on November 2nd. After performing one of
their best performances of the year, the band marched off the
field and earned their superior. Due to an unfortunate rule violation
by a neighboring marching band, the Buccaneers were the only Pasco
County band to offically receive an overall superior rating. The
individual catagories were as follows:
Music #1: Superior, Music #2: Excellent,
Marching & Maneuvering: Excellent, General Effect:
Superior, Auxiliary: Superior, Percussion: Superior
This was an improvement from the band's performance
at the Central Florida Marching Band Showcase in Lakeland in October
where the band received and overall 'excellent' rating.
This superior rating is the 8th out of the 9 years
since Mr. Rutherford has taken the reins at Gulf High.
Congratulations GHS Band...keep up the great work and
let's go for it at concert evaluation in March of 2003!
