Give With Your Heart
December 15, 2008 - 21:03 — pdowling
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.

Support the SHS Music Department with Your Donations!

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

Knight Music 2007 - What a Show
October 7, 2007 - 17:26 — pdowling
A beautiful warm evening.
Over 1000 visitors.
6 great bands in performance.
Our graduating seniors and our faithful alumni.
Our volunteers and community supporters.
What a fantastic show!
Knight Music 2007, the 8th annual Knight Music, was all about music, marching, and fun. It was about 6 great bands showing off the weeks and weeks of hard work that have gone into their shows. It was about the community getting to see talented hard working kids doing something great. It was about visitors able to enjoy high quality shows with full marching bands, pit players, and color guards. And it was about a little unexpected excitement.
