Florida Suncoast Marching Festival and was held November 7 in Warrior Stadium. Unlike other local con- tests, there were ll out-of-state bands. Mr. Williams, the band direc- tor, said I think the Festival was very successful overall, considering it was our first one. I look forward to holding it again next year. Hopefully we'll have even more bands partici- pating in the Festival by then. The band received many awards during the season. Some of these were: Best Guard, Superior Guard, well as many excellent ratings in marching skills and general effect. Drum Major Tom Kelley was very pleased with the band's overall suc- cess during the year. His views were best expressed in this statement: During the year, the band has matured immensely in both attitude and performance. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Williams, the band will continue to grow as the years go by. I look forward to being a part of the band program for the 1988 marching season.
