Big Changes in the Field Band Classes!

Wow, there was a reclassification of the bands in the New York State Field Band Conference this week.  Click this link to view http://patpat15.com/2011nysfbcclasses.  They moved Leroy, Mohonassen, and Mineola up a class to Small School 1, which leaves us to be top ranked in our class.  In addition, they moved the three bottom bands in SS1 down to our class, Johnson City, Corning East, and Jordan Elbridge.  This is really good news for us because it pretty much means that everything will be more open.  Copiague is now out of National and in LS2, Huntington has been moved down to LS3 and a whole bunch of other bands have been moved around.  Malverne has been moved into our class SS2 due to their win last year in SS3.  We will still be on in the middle to late part of the Long Island Shows, with only Mineola, Huntington, Brentwood and Copiague in higher classes than us while the other 6 bands are in the lower class LS3.  This will be an exciting year!
