Victor High School hosted its annual marching band competition on Oct. 10, bringing together student ensembles from across the Rochester area and as far as Falconer in Chautauqua County, AOL.com reported.
The home show featured bands with varied performance themes, including a weather-related program from a Rochester marching band and a Le Roy ensemble themed to the musical “Hamilton,” according to the report.
Student drum majors Gabriella Peone and Will Koons said older siblings drew them into marching band. Koons said his older brother pushed him to join, while Peone said she followed her sister, who had participated since fifth grade.
Both students encouraged prospective members to try marching band. Koons advised students to go for it and participate with effort alongside people they care about. Peone said there is no harm in trying something and that the community she has built through the activity has been incredible.
The next marching band competition in the Rochester area is scheduled for Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. at Webster Schroeder High School, AOL.com reported.
