Bedford's Kicking Mules Marching Band Still Superior
The Bedford High School Kicking Mules Marching Band got their MSBOA Marching Band festival rating back from the judges and earned a "1" rating for the 7th year in a row! (And the 8th overall for Mr. Meggitt in his 9 years as band director.) Mr. Meggitt is especially proud of this year's superior performance because of the extra challenges presented by COVID. There was no band camp or camp for the drum majors. The band directors designed the performance to ensure safe spacing for the students during the entire show. The instruments have been outfitted with special bell covers and students received special mouthpiece sanitizer if applicable. All students wore masks except when actually playing and they got screened before each practice.
The actual festival rated performance was held at the Bedford Community Stadium on October 12th with an MSBOA official there to record the performance. In our area, only 8 marching bands participated in the festival with each performing individually. Once all the performances were complete, the adjudicators reviewed the recordings to assign the ratings which we returned on October 29th with the news of another Superior rating for the Bedford Kicking Mules Marching Band.
