Puget Sound Festival of Bands - Competition Schedule
If you are going to the PSFOB and wonder what schools will be performing, and when, the Festival has published a preliminary competition schedule on their web site (PDF) for all 29 bands.
West Valley, Mead, Mt Spokane and University High Schools will be performing as well as 25 others.
Puget Sound Festival of Band/Everett trip handout
You can download a PDF of the trip handout here.
Also, I (Ed) will be going to the the band festival and will be video taping their performance. In past years, I have often uploaded the performance video during the day. Since my band competition videos have become popular on YouTube, I have had special requests to be sure and tape various bands and I will not likely be able to do the upload on Saturday. Hopefully the performance video will be online late Sunday! ... Ed M.
