The Don Lugo Marching Band took First Place in High Music, High General Effect, High Color guard, High Visual, and 2nd place in Percussion for their field show Case Closed this weekend at the annual Vista Murrieta Tournament of Gold. The Don Lugo Band Director Mr. Yanik commented on the band’s achievements. He said, “the whole band and I are more than just happy that we won the competition against the three other schools that we were competing against.”

Don Lugo won against Chaparral, Fallbrook and Serrano High School when competing in the annual tournament held at Vista Murrieta High School. The Don Lugo Marching Band now would like to remain undefeated for the next upcoming 5 confirmed tournaments that the band and color guard will be competing at this season. If the band continues to get high scores at the competitions then they will remain undefeated and advance themselves to finals. The bands next competition will be held at the Mission Viejo High School on October 22nd.

Yanik commented on the upcoming competition, “we have high hopes for our next competition that we will be participating in and we are also hoping that we win first place in High Music, High General Effect, High Color-guard, and High Visual again.” All the Don Lugo band instructor’s are proud that the band is kicking the season off with such a great start. However, the instructors don’t want the band to remain too comfortable so they will continue to push them hard until the band wins gold at Finals at the WBA Fresno State Super Show.
