2023 CAPITAL CITY BAND EXPO
Welcome... On behalf of the Sanderson High School Bands and Ensembles, the Band Booster organization and over 250 volunteers working here today, welcome to The Capital City Band EXPO 2023, and our exciting evening event, The Capital Cup finals competition. It is a privilege to have you as our guests. Twenty-six years ago when the Sanderson band family decided to host a high school marching band competition we did so with high goals in mind. We wanted the Capital City Band EXPO to be a special event where outstanding high school musicians and visual artists can display their talent and hard work. We also wanted EXPO to be one of the best marching band competitions in the state. With the change in 2004 to a preliminary and finals format, combined with the presentation of The Capital Cup to our Grand Champion, we believe we are achieving our goals. Over the last twenty-five years, EXPO has grown into a major high school event. This has been possible only with the help of many partners. First and foremost, EXPO could not happen without the support we have received from band directors and band booster organizations around the state. The decision to bring your students to EXPO is sincerely appreciated. Second, EXPO could not have grown to where it is today without the support of our corporate sponsors. Our sponsors’ financial support has allowed us to attract nationally recognized adjudicators to ensure objective and unbiased evaluation of participating bands. Third, our booster organization and many volunteers allow us to have first class logistical support for all bands and spectators. The Sanderson band family spends hundreds of hours planning and carrying out today’s activities. Finally, a special part of EXPO is the beautiful

Gregson Stadium. We are thankful to the Wake County Public School System and the Sanderson administration and staff for allowing us to use the Sanderson facilities and for their support of EXPO. We are proud that EXPO was one of the first events to use the North Carolina Music Educators Association and North Carolina Bandmaster’s Association adopted Adjudication Procedures. We applaud the NCMEA and the NCBA for their efforts to bring consistency to the judging standards of marching competitions in our state. We want to recognize and commend all of the student performers in competing bands for their dedication, discipline, and tireless commitment to their programs. We know you will enjoy the opportunity to share your show with all of us as well as appreciate the performances of others. The performances today are a testament to the daily hard work that the students, parents, and directors do in North Carolina. Thank you for joining us today, and we hope that you have a fantastic experience at EXPO! Sincerely,
Mitchell Townley, Director of Bands Sanderson High School

Dave Jackson, Percussion Instructor
Show Description: Most of us will accept the reality with which we are presented. We never look, we never question. That is, until there’s a ripple. A break. Or the wrong string is pulled. Then our world begins to unravel, and we begin to realize that the world may not be as it seems, and we may not be as in control as we think. This sends us into a spiral of paranoia as we dig deeper to pull back the curtain and answer the question: If I’m not in control, then who holds my strings?
