Blazer Band

This year the Valley View band has won many trophies and acquired many achievements, One of which being the Forever Wicked event in which the band displayed their winnings as well as putting on quite a show for the audience present that night. Forever Wicked is a show where the band recreates the “ Forever Wicked”, which is a piece inspired by the Wizard of Oz franchise. In this version the play Dorothy goes up against the Wicked Witch of the West and ends up killing the witch after the she was assumed to be dead. This version allows for the band to express diversity into its shows by doing differentiated plays for the audience, this shows a more diverse band that can work with many different pieces. The Band did a great job at said show, so much that they won eight trophies for their first competition. That is the reason the Blazer band is one of the best.
