With a new band director this year and Covid-19 obstacles, students managed to make the best of it ending the year off right. November 6, 2020, the Ocean of Sound swept the competition in their classification and won class 3A at the final competition of the season. New band director Daniel Lezcano had some kind words about his band students. \u201cThe students have worked extremely hard and have persevered to make the best of this unique year. If you see a band student, please join me in congratulating them on a job well done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pvhstiburon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Band-graphic-1024x587.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1875\" width=\"419\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pvhstiburon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Band-graphic-1024x587.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pvhstiburon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Band-graphic-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pvhstiburon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Band-graphic-768x440.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pvhstiburon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Band-graphic.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Senior, Sydney Stubbs, Co-band Captain, elaborated on her thoughts about how this year played out.
