Pride of La Salle Marching Band came in 1st among AA bands and 5th overall among 18 bands – including some much larger – at the 7th Annual Falcon Force Band Competition at Bishop Fenwick High School Saturday.

Besides winning the first place trophy in their class, the band also won Best Music, Best Visual, Best General Effect and Best Auxiliary (guard).

This is a Mid-States Band Association event and a great start to band competition season for a band of relatively young students.
