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.

Many thanks to the Stamford Public Schools Administration, Mr. Rodney Bass, Dr. Daniel Cook, Ms. Margaret Zielinksi, Mrs. Claudia Nerreau, the Stamford High Custodial Staff, and all the teachers who attended performances this year. We also thank George Giannios, the band director at Dolan Middle School, for his cooperation at this event, and his encouragement of music education in Stamford. We also thank and congratulate Gloria Sinaguglia on her wonderful vocal and orchestral performances.

Outside of the faculty there are many groups and individuals who have contributed time and funds to making this year a success. Without their support, we would not have been able to attend competitions, travel out of state or buy new instruments. The students and staff of the Stamford Bands thank:  the Stamford High Band Parents Association, the Kiwanis Club of Stamford, Representative Christel Truglia, and everyone who donated any amount of money. We cannot thank you enough!

See you in the fall!
