Band Description

“The Marching Band is one of the public faces of our school, and in some settings (like parades), the only public face. If our marching band looks good, our whole school looks good.” - This is the essence of some words spoken by our former band director, Nick Greeson. We all know it to be true. It is much responsibility in the hands of a small group of students. They deserve our support, and we give it gladly and with enthusiasm. This is the goal of this site.

Sussex County Band Performances

As we expected, the County Honors Bands performed spectacularly on Thursday evening.

Junior Band Guest Conductor:  Mr. Matt Fullerton
Senior Band Guest Conductor:  Patrick Hoffman, DMA
Junior Band Chair:  Mr. Christopher Reavis
Senior Band Chair:  Ms. Kayla O'Connor
Concert Host:  Mr. Mark Marvel

This quote from Plato, taken from the program, just about says it all:

“Education in music is most sovereign, because more than anything else rhythm and harmony find their way to the inmost soul and take strongest hold upon it, bringing with them and imparting grace, if one is rightly trained.”

We offer our sincere thanks to the students, parents, and educators for enriching our lives with music.

During the intermission, we were entertained by the Directors Jazz Ensemble, featuring the coolest rendition of "Sesame Street Theme" EVER.
