First victory of the season for Norwich field band
NORWICH – Norwich’s Purple Tornado Field Band took home its first victory of the season Saturday, at the New Hartford Spartan Spectacular.
In small school division three, the lone entry was Westmoreland, earning 70.10. In small school division one, in second place was New Hartford earning 80.90, and in first place earning 82.95 was Norwich. There were also two national band performances. Coming in second was Webster with 81.25, and in first was Oswego with 81.70.
The New Hartford show is a smaller competition than other field shows within the conference. Norwich scored higher than anyone else competing at the show, including the national competitors.
Directors Don Burke and Chris Calhoun agree the performance was the best they have seen all season, and the judges, who have seen the band perform at past shows, were surprised to see how far Norwich’s performance has come.
“It means a lot for a small school like Norwich to compete and beat two major schools in the same competition,” Calhoun said.
Next week’s show, The Liverpool Warriors field band contest, is at 6 p.m. Saturday in Liverpool. There will be up to 12 bands competing with four very tough competitors in Norwich’s division. Next week’s performance will provide competition against Jordan-Elbridge, a school which has shown Norwich in past performances that it will take a lot of hard work and determination to beat.
“The students made a statement for themselves this week and they seem ready to show the other schools what they can do,” Burke said.
