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.


This site is unofficial, maintained by a Band Booster, and not endorsed by the Indian River School District or Sussex Central High School.

2013 Band Banquet


In celebration of a fantastic year, we gathered on May 15 for a meal, fellowship, and a time of showing appreciation towards our entire band program.  There were many people to acknowledge, including the band members, the color guard, our new director Mr. Nicholas Greeson, and the final year of two faithful boosters, Jeff and Lana Robb.

We will miss our seniors.  At the same time, we look forward to the new freshmen who will be joining us.  Next year we will continue to build our band, entertain the masses, cheer on our football team, stand as a proud face of Sussex Central High School, and have a blast in the meantime.
 
Not everyone is included in the pictures. Sorry.

Trip to New York City

Comments from Katherine and Sarah regarding the trip:

"There are a LOT of people in New York City!"
"There was some ballet in Phantom of the Opera"  (Katherine and Sarah do ballet, and were impressed.)

Me:  "Did anybody get lost?"
Katherine:  "Only Nino...we came out the Shake Shack, and he was left inside getting a drink, and we were like - where's Nino!?"



Mr. Greeson took this picture.  I think he may have actually been trying to get a picture of the red Mini in the background.

Anyone want to write a short article or anecdote about the trip?  Send it to Brent's email if you do.  Thanks.
