The Isla Bonita Marching Band represented San Pedro at Band Fest 2009 in San Ignacio this past Saturday, April 4. Although the band was small compared to the 13 other bands that were participating, did not win or place in any of the categories, they sure made us proud as they led the parade through the streets of San Ignacio.
Teacher Addy Trejo mentioned that they are very proud of the 18 students that participated and that the Governor General of Belize, Sir Colville Young commented that he was very impressed by the way the kids played their drums with much enthusiasm and lots of energy.
“This was a very good experience for the drum core and if we want to get to the level of the others bands it will take much work and dedication as well of the support of the community,” commented principal Trejo.
