Two rival East Bay high schools are among those set to battle in the San Francisco Fleet Week High School Band Challenge.
For the past three months, Natalie Cervantes and the rest of Concord High School's band and guard have been practicing for Fleet Week's High School Band Challenge. 'We have been practicing during zero periods. We've been here for 12 hours every Tuesday and Thursday,' said Cervantes, a senior at Concord High School. This is the first year Concord will compete in the competition. They'll have 20 minutes to wow the judges with their routine.
But before they can walk home winners, they first are going to have to take down their biggest rival and last year's champion, Pittsburg High School. Martin Lejano, Concord High's band director, says the two school's rivalry goes back years. 'Concord and Pittsburg have a history of competing against each other at the Walnut Festival, things like that, so yeah, we're super excited to throw down against them,' said Lejano.
