Tornado band takes 5th at Dome
NORWICH – Making their way to the Syracuse University Sunday, the Purple Tornado finale show turned out to be the best all season.
The Norwich field band headed off to the Carrier Dome for its final show of the 2007 season. Performing a show centered around music from “My Fair Lady,” all 60 members took part in the performance. Band Director Gretchen Shyne says throughout the performance it was apparent that the students as well as the audience was enjoying their performance. “They did great,” said Shyne. “It was the nest show all season.”
Norwich coming in fifth place in its class is a victory all of its own, the first-year band leader said. “This is the top competition that the small school category one can compete in,” said Shyne.
Shyne also explained many of the bands competing Sunday came in just a tenth or two behind their competitors. Victor took home the win in Norwich’s class with a 91.35. New Hartford, 89.20, took second. Medina placed just a tenth behind them with a 89.10. Jordan Elbridge took home fourth with 87.20. Norwich, just two tenths behind them, earned 87.00, East Syracuse-Minoa took sixth with 84.00, East Irondequoit earned 83.90 and Phoenix placed eighth with 82.15.
Shyne says she is proud of the band’s continuous efforts throughout the season. “They have come a long way,” she said.
