GRAND REVEAL: Sophomore Cruz Gonzales performs alongside the other baritone saxophone players during Bandapalooza on Aug 22. Bandapalooza allowed the band to perform what they’ve been practicing during the summer to an audience full of friends and family. 

While this wasn’t the band’s first full run through, it was their first in front of an audience. 

“I feel like we’ve done better in rehearsals, and due to the pressure and other things, it hindered our performance a little bit, but I was still proud,” Gonzales said.

One thing that Gonzales pointed out that the band needs to work on in the future is making sure everybody knows exactly where they’re supposed to be and knows the repetition. 

This performance also allowed the band to introduce their new theme of Gothic Renaissance to their audience. 

“This year’s costumes are totally different,” Gonzales said. “We have hip capes and shako hats, which is a big change from last year.” 

Looking towards the future and big pictures, Gonzales wants the band to have a successful season and make state.

“Considering how close it was last year, we were pretty bummed,” he said. “So this year, I think everybody is really trying to work harder to get there and make state again.”
