Inaugural Bradford Band Festival Gives Local Bands a Performance Opportunity
Both PK Yonge Research and Developmental School and F. W. Buchholz High School bands attended the 1st Annual Bradford Band Festival on Saturday, October 24th, 2020. Due to the precautions put in place around the State of Florida, the Florida Bandmasters Association cancelled all Marching Band Music Performance
Assessments across the State. For many bands, this meant that there was to be no opportunity for them to perform their prepared halftime shows as some counties deemed it unsafe to perform at football games. All performing bands had bell covers to "mask" their instruments and practiced safe social distancing while on the field in formations. Though 2020 has thrown us many curve balls, many band directors are doing everything that they can to keep their students performing. As the saying goes, "the show must go on."
