Hello!
That’s wonderful! Thanks for reaching out. Here are some answers to your questions…
1. This is my first year as Band Director, though I have been with the band for 10 years. I am a Woodland Hills Alumni, and an alum of the band as well.
2. Our Drum Majors are Ryan Powers and Nadia Veney (Naw-dee-a Va-nay). Our Image Captain is Gretchen Van Deusen (Van – Doos-en). Our soloists tomorrow will be Liam Blaney and Sonny Davis.
3. This year’s halftime show is entitled, Pura Vida! and includes Latin-infused hits by Rihanna, Santana, Lizzo, and Jennifer Lopez. Specifically, the songs are We Found Love by Rihanna, Novus by Santana, Water Me by Lizzo, and On the Floor by Jennifer Lopez.
4. Accolades for our band include repetitive appearances at the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona, the Taxslayer Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, and most recently, at Disney World earlier in 2022.
I have attached our competition program page as well, if any of that information is helpful to you.
