The Bernardo Yorba Middle School marching band marched from the Placentia post office all the way to tri-city park on Saturday October 10th. Mrs. Watson prepared the students of Marching Band with many practice marches, but there were difficulties at the parade.
At 8:00am the Bernardo Yorba Marching Matadors marched outside in the 90 degree weather. The parade lasted for about 30-45 minutes. Bernardo was the sixth band in the parade. The band played “Let The Flag of Freedom Wave” by James Swearingen.
“The kids did great considering how hot it was. Even though the temperatures were probably in the 90’s when we finished, all of our members made it to the end!! Amazing kids!”, quote from Mrs. Watson
The festival at the parade was supposed to close at 4:00pm but due to the hot weather, they had to close it down at 3:00.The reason why is that at least 60 people had passed out due to heatstroke which were students marching from other schools, parents, and spectators

Dear Isaiah,
I really enjoy that you are so intrigued by the Bernardo Yorba Middle School marching band and that you continue to write about its performances. Your articles are very good and well worded, and I enjoy reading them. You are a good writer, and the editor, whomever it may be, did a very good job of editing it. I hope that you continue to write more articles about the Bernardo Marching Matadors, and not just because I’m a part of them. If only it was possible to publish them in good time, so I could read them before I forget which performance it was.
