Marching Band Update

Marching Band Update

The 2008 marching band season has been running right along since percussion rehearsals began in July.

Armed with a custom-written show, a talented staff and a refreshed work ethic, the Stamford High School Black Knights Marching Band had a productive week at camp, learning the basics of marching technique, the literature of the show, and most importantly, how to put those two together.

The band has its debut at Brien McMahon High School on Saturday, September 13, performing at 5:45pm. We expect to march, spin and play the first three out of four parts to our show, "Magellan."
