The Pella Marching Dutch continued another remarkable competition season by winning the Valleyfest Showdown in West Des Moines Saturday evening.

Pella scored 84.3 points to win Class B, also winning best horn line, marching, percussion, color guard, and soloist in the caption awards. The Marching Dutch scored the most of any Iowa schools participating–regardless of class, with Bellevue West of Nebraska winning the Class A competition.

The Marching Dutch will finish the competition season on Saturday, October 15th at the Iowa High School Music Association State Festival and at the Mid-Iowa Band Championships in Ankeny. Pella Christian, Knoxville, and PCM will join the state site at Pella.
