Band Performs At Big E, Senior Garners Blue Ribbon

The ConVal Band performed at the Eastern States Exposition on Friday, September 28th. They entertained crowds on the Storrowton Green and along the parade route.

The drumline performed a number of cadences and the band played songs that make you want to dance. Some of the highlights were “Uptown Funk,” “Jungle Boogie,” and “My House.”

Senior Bronwyn Tyler-Wall won a blue ribbon for her solo trombone performance in “Boogie Down.” The Big E special events coordinator already stated his excitement to have our band back next year.

The Eastern States Exposition in Springfield, Massachusetts, also known as the “Big E”, is a unique kind of state fair. Rather than serving just one state, the Big E serves Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
