About this performance, Mr. Liddell wrote:
"This was our performance at the WTSBOA concert festival
last March. We played South African Suite by James Higgins
and Drums of Darkness by Larry Neeck. We received All "Superior"
ratings for our performance and a "Superior" rating for
sight-reading. Because of all superior ratings we
were invited to perform at the State Concert Festival in Nashville
this April. Sadly, we aren't able to go because we didn't have
enough money in our account to pay the $300 dollar entry fee in time
for the November deadline. Here is the link to the
results! http://www.wtsboa.com/MembersOnly/PDF_Forms/ConcertFestMemphisSr2010.pdf
"We are still trying to raise funds for needed fees, equipment, and
travel. We are actively in search for possible sponsors for the
band program. We have sent out sponsor letters to several local
businesses with little success... If you know of any East High
Alumni that are philanthropists,
business owners, managers, CEO's, or maybe just interested in
contributing to the cause of helping the band program, please forward
them the letter."
