Way to go Black Knights!  The hard work paid off with 1st place and a big score improvement.  No pictures yet from this event - we'll post them if we get them.  In the meantime, remember that the Black Knights will be in competition again next Saturday at Jonathan Law High School (schedule).

Check out the official scores from the Portchester Competition.

Knight Music was a success!

Eight marching bands from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut competed in the 7th annual Knight Music band competition. Blessed with a beautiful evening, and eight great marching bands, the crowds at Boyle stadium were treated to a first rate show. More news about Knight Music will be published soon. In the meantime...

Stamford rocks the house at Trumbull High School - Let the Aerofest begin!

The Stamford High School Black Knights took the field in class three competition. With only one week to go before our own show - Knight Music - it was time to give our first performance. And time for our many fans to finally see all the elements of our show.

Here is where all the hard work comes togther. All the elements of our show were on display. The music, marching, pit and color guard. The music of Aerosmith. And a smashing performance for our many fans.

An Interview with the SHS Marching Band Director, Ms. Hope Bagley conducted by Rachel W. - 8th grade, 2nd year SHS Marching Band.

Background: Ms. Bagley was born in Flushing, Queens, New York to the people she knows as Mom and Dad. She moved to Long Island in First Grade, and remembers going to the beach with her family, and watching Mets and Yankees games throughout her childhood.

So how did the game go? Well... you can read about that here.

And the band? Really good. Way to go Black Knights Marching Band!

And what a crowd it was. 

A great chance for the Black Knights Marching Band to show our stuff, and a good warmup for our first competition coming up in Trumbull.  But more than that, a chance to make a difference for Stamford Youth.  The Stamford Youth foundation supports youth athletics and (soon) music programs.  We were thrilled to be a part of it.

Thank you Mr. Schneider! You really came through for us.

Band Camp is over. What a phenomenal camp. Many challenges were faced. Losing our band director perhaps the biggest of all.

But we rose to the challenge, and we were out there showing our parents and friends what we've got.

A huge thank you to Mr. Schneider who stepped in at the last minute to act as Director for band camp. The staff and student leaders also stepped up to the challenge to lead our band.
