Black Walnut Festival

 On Saturday, October 15, 2011 was the 57th West Virginia Black Walnut Festival Annual Marching Band Competition.  Jim went to watch Maci perform while I was at the wedding with Molli.  
Ripley High School won this competition in 2008 while Maci was a freshman.  They had not won for over two decades before 2008.  It was very, very exciting when they took home this honor.
Ripley High School performed this year, and were named the Black Walnut Festival......
Grand Champion
and
Honor Band!!
Very, Very, Very Exciting!
The band buses received a Police and Fire Truck escort back in to town!

Below are the band members that were on the field to accept awards.

What a way to go out RHS Fighting Viking Marching Band....the Pride of Jackson County!
