Despite the brisk winds and cold temperatures on Sunday, October 21, the BHS Marching Band performed their field show brilliantly, earning a three-star award from judges at the MICCA Norwood Classic Marching Band Festival. Bedford’s program, “A Big Ol’ Dance Party”, entertained the crowd and had proud parents and BHS band staff cheering loudly for their accomplishment.
A total of eleven bands marched in the festival, seven of them, including Bedford, in the Division I class for bands with 40 or fewer playing members.
