THE NEWS TRIBUNE
The Sumner High School Marching Band took home the “People’s Choice Award” during its participation in the 2009 Portland Rose Festival in Portland held June 5 and 6.
The band earned the award after performing its field show, “Disney’s Fantasmic,” in Portland’s PGE Park at the Friday night Bandfest. The next morning, the 100-plus members of the band marched in the four-mile long Grand Floral Parade and won the first-place award for an out-of-state band, according to a district news release. Joe Carl directs the band.
