— BIG SOUND

A tuba, above, reflects members of the Warren Central High School Big Blue Band as they perform at Viking Field Saturday at the annual Red Carpet Invitational Band Contest, sponsored this year by Warren Central. Warren Central did not compete because it was the host, and Vicksburg High School’s band chose not to participate. Bands competed from Brookhaven, Petal and Laurel. At right, Big Blue’s Lacey Anderson is all smiles as she marches while holding her trumpet.
