The 1970 Paschal High School Stage Band at The Brownwood Stage Band Festival–Dreams Of A Psychopath

Bill Brownwood winners AAAA 0

Only two bands in AAAA were listed as winners instead of the usual three, so I think Paschal came in second that year. The winner, which had the most players in the all star band, was probably Robert E. Lee (Houston). The other band that placed, and listed, was Douglas MacArthur High School. There is no recording of Robert E. Lee on the record.
