Marching Band and Percussion in San Ramon
Chevron sponsored this event hosted by San Ramon Valley High School. The Marching Band placed 4th in their division and Percussion placed 5th overall out of the 18 groups from all over Northern California.
Congratulations to the band and to all who made it such a fun day! That especially includes the parents whose help makes all of this possible!
Plus, thanks goes to Patty at the Folsom Sam's Club who arranged a $25 donation toward the purchase of some very tasty rotisserie chicken salad which everyone enjoyed!
