Marching Band January Update!

Things are going great with the Marching Band. We are now auditioning for the Pit, Battery, and Colorguard and will be doing that through to the February break. The talent looks great. Frank Mauriello has been working with the pit and is doing a great job. The show is great. The staff has been meeting and getting everything ready for the new season. We are very much ahead of most bands on Long Island right now. Many bands don't even have a show picked out yet! Usually we have ours picked for the next year prior to the dome. I will continue putting all of the music up on the website. I have to scan each part and attach them together by instrument so it may take some time.

On a personal note, I have now been going for the first time through the college process with my daughter Stephanie, a senior at Mineola. It sure is a roller coaster ride trying to figure out where to go and this is incredible for me as a parent to actually go through it.

Once again, things are going great. Our new staff members will surely help us be amazing and better than ever this year. We should be beating alot more bands this year, that's for sure!
