Everyone have a great summer!

The Stamford High School Marching Band began the 2009-2010 season with an exciting evening last week. Over 20 incoming freshman performed with most of the returning members. The opener and ballad were rehearsed along with some exercises from the warm-up book.

It is nice to see friendships being created. The students were spoken to by the Director, M. Waselik about the high level of expectations that are expected from everyone, along with the staff. This looks to be a fun season for everyone that are involved. After the rehearsal pizza was served to cap off the fun evening.

Please watch this. This is very interesting!

Who says it is not a sport?
