Hoover Invitational Marching Band Festival Sights...October 16, 2010, Hoover, AL



The competition was held at Region's Park, the same field where the Hoover High School
football team plays, the Birmingham Barons baseball team plays, and the SEC Baseball
tournament is held.  It is an ideal facility for such an event.

The band entered the field from the same entrance but marched to two separate sides with the majority of the band turning left once they entered the stadium as you see here.


The drum line and tubas continued on around to the opposite side of the field nearest to the
audience and entered the competition field directly behind the Pit.

Looking good...all in step!

The band waits patiently for their call to Attention for scores.

Drum Majors and Section Leaders wait on the field for scores and awards
 to be announced.

Sparkman's name is called for scores.  Abby calls the Section Leaders
