October 19, 2010
The Tate High School Showband of the South earned straight superiors at a weekend competition, and they will be performing in a weekend Christmas parade for Extreme Home Makeover.
The band was ranked superior in marching and maneuvering, general effect, music, axillary and received a final overall superior rating at the District 1 Florida Bandmasters Association’s Music Performance Assessment in Fort Walton Beach. Over 1,000 band students from across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties took part in the event.
Escambia, Milton, Pace and Pine Forest high schools also earned straight superior ratings.
The Tate High School Showband of the South is scheduled to perform a “Christmas Parade” Sunday afternoon for ABC’s Extreme Home Makeover as the the program’s house is revealed to the shouts of “Move That Bus!” in Pensacola. It will be the band’s second performance nationally on ABC in a year; the Tate Showband of the South was the only band selected to perform at the 2009 Disney Christmas Parade that aired Christmas morning on ABC television.
