40th Annual Vince Polce Marching Band Spectacular~

Late Saturday afternoon the sun came out making the evening a little bit better at Defiance High School.
Chilly at the 40th Band Spectacular? Yes... but not all that bad considering the way the day started! Worth braving the cool temps and cold stadium bleachers? Yes... the opportunity to watch 6 marching bands is always a great night at DHS and has been for the past 40 years!

This years Feature Band was The Bowling Green State University Falcon Marching Band. How often can a marching band lover see a University Band perform for $6.00? The sights and sounds was awesome as they played and marched to a Beatles Tribute which included an appearance from Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band... Kudos to BG, we really enjoyed your bands performance!

One of the many things I got to witness last night was the "spirit of high school and college students" chearing & rooting for each other & showing appreciation for each bands performance, whoooo hoooo's and shouts of excitement was herd from students as the crowd watched 6 bands with 6 different styles of marching, dance routines, batons with fire and flags whipping and twirling under the stadium lights all on a very wet and muddy football field!

Thanks to the Tinora Marching Band, Coldwater, Clay, Sylvania Northview and Defiance Marching Band of Class for a fantastic fall evening of musical entertainment!!!
