Band
Competition
by Blake Anderson
The VCHS Marching Band and Color
Guard have finished their season, concluding with a performance in
Long Beach at the Western Band Association Championships. Dazzling
audience and competition alike with their show Dreams May Come, Valley
dominated all the bands they faced last year, surpassed only by their
new rivals Beyer High School and Aliso Miguel. With drum majorettes
Julianne Kelly and Leah Gaul and
Color Guard captain Kayla Kramer leading the way,
Valley seniors marched across the field to receive the 3rd place award.
There is a spirit of triumph, and no one seems disappointed. The band
and color guard both gave phenomenal effort throughout the season,
and it showed to everyone in their amazingly skillful performance.
Leah Gaul said the adrenaline rush of the seniors’ final band show
was a thrilling experience. Saxophonist Ian Perry
commented that having tough competition actually gave the Valley band
a better appreciation of their own skill. A parent from another school
complimented Valley on the shining example they set as the only prominent
Christian marching band in the division.
Besides the competition, the weekend trip was filled with fun. They
visited Disneyland and attended a service at Saddleback Church. Families
went along to enjoy the trip and support the musicians and color guard.
Everyone was happy to have finished well.

JV Boys Soccer: Starting
Fresh
Usually, the boys J.V. roster is filled with quite a few freshmen.
As there is no freshmen soccer team, it is not at all unusual to see
some of Valley's newest students squaring off against some teams,
like Mitty and Bellarmine, who are chock full of sophomores and even
juniors. Naturally, putting freshman and juniors together seems slightly...
unfair. Things are going to be different this year.

Teacher Survey: Most
Embarrassing Holiday Moment?
Embarassing moments happen to everyone. They are not something
you can avoid or prevent, they are just part of life that most people
have learned to accept and shake off. Christmas brings joy but it
can also bring several embarrassing moments that a majority of people
would much rather forget. The events of Christmas such as the putting
up of the Christmas tree, or maybe trying to put together some of
the presents that say "assembly required" can bring those
most memorable Christmas moments.
