September 25, 2021

to the 4th annual Pitman High School Preview of Champions Band Review! We all have been through so much this past year and a half and we are proud to be able to provide this parade for all of the schools in attendance today. Our Band Boosters have been working tirelessly for the past several months to ensure you have a positive experience and we appreciate your decision to attend our band review.

Our Grand Marshal for today is Olga Weddle. When you’re born into a family polka band featuring your dad, mom, and brother… what’s a girl to do? Olga Klobas Weddle began her musical training on accordion at age four, with her legs dangling from the enormous chair. As her father was the leader on accordion and having two accordions is pretty much a curse in any band, it wasn’t long before she took up the clarinet. As time marched on and she was exposed to swing bands, the saxophone was a necessary addition. Moving on to college as an Oregon Duck she decided clarinet was just not loud nor durable enough for outdoors so she marched on trombone for four years, and then went on to earn her master’s degree in music education and clarinet performance.

Nowadays, she is a happily retired music educator in Turlock, California where she taught junior high and elementary band, and some classroom music. Her students were among her greatest joys and she loved working with them and watching them grow, both personally and musically. She performs regularly in a variety of professional and community music groups on various instruments. She has been in backup bands for Bill Watrous, Jon Faddis, Doreen Ketchens, Plas Johnson, Maynard Ferguson, Charles McPherson, and Mic Gillette, and has performed with numerous symphony, opera, and pit orchestras in both Oregon and California. She serves as concertmaster for MoBand and marches in Portuguese festa celebrations every spring and summer.

Olga taught music for 38 years including 18 in TUSD. She retired in 2020 and our students and colleagues want to thank her for all she did for music in Turlock!

Again, thank you for taking the time to attend our band review today.

Musically yours,

Band Director - John H. Pitman High School

Parade Copetition startsat 9:15am on N. Tegner

Percussion Competition startsat 9am on Sandstone St.

Music: the difficulty of the piece, the accuracy, musical technique and expression as the piece is played by the band.

Showmanship: band & guard uniform coordination, how the whole group looks as they perform, the precision and carriage of the musicians, musicality of how the band interprets the music.

Marching: how the whole group looks as they move along as well as how the individual musicians look, the difficulty of the color guard routine.

Auxiliaries: the color guard is judged on how well they perform and how they interpret the march.

Drum Major: the drum majors are judged on the creativity and execution of the routine they usually perform just before the band begins the march. They are also judged on their salute as they pass the judges and their overall presentation as they lead the band.

Percussion: the drum line can compete separately and the groups are judged on how well they play, the marching routine of the musicians and how well the two work together.

Sweepstakes: these awards are given to the band, regardless of division, with the highest numerical score in the marching, showmanship and parade areas.

The marching bands are separated into divisions based on the number of students in the group and the groups compete against similarly sized in a military style marching competition where they are judged on the following:
