Goddard Pride Band Information
 WORLDS OF FUN MUSIC FESTIVAL. . .what a day of excitement, learning, and fun!!  In addition to riding various roller coasters numerous times, the 7th and 8th grade bands performed for nationally known adjudicators who offered comments to help the bands.  This worked out well, as the comments helped greatly in preparing for Pioneer League Festival.  Both bands played well, especially after having been at the park all day.  The 7th grade band earned a I- rating and the 8th grade band earned a I rating.  The 8th grade band also received 2nd place in the Middle School Band Division of the entire festival.  Now, that's awesome!  Much thanks to the parent sponsors--we couldn't take this trip without you.  Thanks to the students for a fantastic day!
