Give With Your Heart

Tell-Tale Heart Show at Championships

We know that this year more than ever you've been called upon to support important causes. We ask that you consider giving a small donation to the Stamford High School Marching Band. Our children have worked so hard to represent our school and community in the face of steep budget reductions. Please take a look at what they've accomplished so far:

  • Marching band—Musical Arts Conference (MAC) championship first place in 2007, sixth place in 2008
  • Winter Percussion—MAC championship first place in 2007, WGI finalist, 8th place 2007, 6th place in the nation in 2008.
  • Jazz Band—Norwalk High School Jazz Festival first place in 2008, preparing
    for 2009 Berklee Jazz Festival in Boston.

Would you like to help?  Click here to download a band donation form and send your donation today.

With warm regards,

The Stamford High School Band Parent Association
A 501(c)(3) organization.  All donations tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law

Congratulations to Stamford High School Marching Band

Words can not describe how proud I and the parents are of the members of the Stamford High School Marching Band. They have persevered through the trials and difficulties of the 2008 season. They have grown as musicians and leaders while learning life long lessons. This was shown in a strong performance in Bridgeport on Saturday.

Plans are already under way for the 2009 season. Please check regularly for updates.

Note: We have an audio (mp3) posted to the website, and pictures!
