Stamford High Black Knights Marching Band

Last night, the members of the Stamford High Bands performed their spring concert in the SHS auditorium. The program kicked off with a stand-still performance of Stamford Winter Percussion's show, "Teenage Wasteland." Members of the band played William Tell Overture, Amazing Grace, and finished the Concert Band portion of the program with a joint performance with Dolan Middle School's band. The students combined to perform The Stars & Stripes Forever, giving everyone involved the experience of playing with students they don't normally see. Finally, the Jazz Ensemble ended the concert with Salt Peanuts, Greensleeves, Angel Eyes, and Boogie Stop Shuffle.

This weekend, the Stamford High School Drama Club closed its run of the classic 1960's musical, How to Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying!).

The comedic musical is full of vaudeville-inspired music, distinct characters and story twists that have stood the test of time.

Thursday, May 31st. In their final concert of the year the Concert Band and Jazz Ensemble played selections of music that they have learned this year.
