Due to budget cuts throughout our school district, the Stamford High Bands have been suffering this year without the funds needed to support their performances. The high quality of musicianship of these groups may be compromised by a lack of funds to provide sheet music, instruments and travel.

In the past, the Stamford bands have received such honors as:
2006 MAC Class III Marching Band, 3rd Place
2007 MAC PSA Winter Percussion, 1st Place
2007 MAC Class III Marching Band, 1st Place
2007 WGI PSA Winter Percussion, National Ranking: 8th place

Thanks to everyone who volunteered for one of our holiday fundraisers. The Christmas Tree Sale and the Borders Gift Wrap days were both great successes thanks to your efforts.

Also, many thanks to everyone in the community who supported us by buying a tree or gift wrapping. Your support makes our programs possible.

The Stamford Holiday Balloon Parade of 2007!  The Black Knigts were there to show their stuff and have some fun.

It was a great day.  A chance to get together with friends from the Marching Band season one last time to enjoy and celebrate the fine season just concluded.

Photos are available for those who may have missed it.  Check back for more soon as Winter programs and events are posted.

Originally known as Armistice day and dedicated to the Veterans of World War I, Veteran's day is now a day set aside as "A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good."

More information about Veteran's Day can be found on the Veteran's Affairs website.

Band Camp 2007 has concluded, and I am very satisfied with the success of our ensemble this week. We have learned three of four parts to our show, and have given the students excellent marching basics training. This successful band camp is due in large part to the following people:

Great Band Camp Everyone! And great performance on Saturday for the parents and fans.

I know all the parents really enjoyed seeing the show so far. We know there is a lot to do, but great job so far.

The Stamford High Black Knights Marching Band participated in the Stamford Memorial Day Parade to honor our fallen soldiers.

We encourage everyone to remember the sacrifices made for our country. Visit the Department of Veteran's Affairs website for more about the history of Memorial Day.
