Stamford High Black Knights Marching Band

Despite threats of thunderstorms, the rain held off long enough on April 12 for Stamford High School to host the 2008 MAC Winter Percussion Championships. With units from all over the tri-state area in attendance, the crowd was big and loud. The food was great, the ensembles rocked the gym and the event was run with almost no incidents.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2008 MAC Championship:
Festival A: Bunnell
Concert Open: Naugatuck
Marching Novice: Beecher
Marching A: Cheshire
Marching Open: Trumbull

Many thanks to the following people, without whose help this event would not have been possible: the City of Stamford Police, Dr. Joshua Starr, Mr. Rodney Bass, Dr. Dan Cook, Margaret Zielinski, Dr. Michael Intrieri, the Stamford Custodial staff, Jolesch Photographers, Bob Anderson, the MAC Executive Board and all the attending units.

Lastly, we thank the Stamford Band Parents Association for their extensive contributions to this event. Without their organization, cooking, fundraising and logistical man power, we would not be able to accomplish special events like this. We cannot thank you enough for making this event, and this program, a great success.
