This is the official group picture of our 1998-99 band. The drum major is at the bottom left, the instructors are in red Winds jacket on the top, and that's Mr. Ward in his suit up there. |
 |
Before the parade begins, the colorguard team traditionally does a little hokey pokey to "put their attitude in." |
 |
Staying in phase with our cadense, the band marches proudly down the street. |

The majorette and letters prepare for their crowd-pleasing performance at the 1999 Lompoc Flower Festival. |

These colorguard girls march in perfect step as they prepare for Lompoc's competition area. |

Here is a great shot of our brass section. We work hard on getting the proper blend of sound so not one instrument sticks out. |
 |
After the parade, the band gets to relax in our air conditioned charter buses provided by Star Dust Tours. |

This photo of the Huntington Beach 4th of July Parade shows the front ranks of the band, a member of the colorguard, and our drum major leading the way. You can also see Mr. Ward in his red Winds jacket encouraging us from the sidelines. |
 |
Here are the first few ranks of the band. We use concert tubas with "diaper" carriers instead of Sousaphones in order to achieve a richer quality of sound. |

A close up of one of our French Horn players, who is also known as our co-webmaster Matt. There are also a few trumpets and a close up of our powerful concert tubas. |

Here is a perfect rank of clarinets and our mighty percussion section bringing up the rear. Notice the cymbal player marching backwards! |
