Good evening ladies and gentlemen.  Tonight we are proud to present the 1991 edition of the Susquehanna Township High School Marching Band.  The band is under the field direction of Drum Majors Julie Reichert and Leslie Minnick.  The band is comprised of 51 musicians and 20 band front members.  This season marks the band's second year of competition.  In last year's first season of competition, the band finished tied for second place at Chapter VI Championships, and was proud to attend the Atlantic Coast Championships.  We pride ourselves with providing our audiences with an entertaining musical and visual program.

This year's program opens with a haunting composition by French composer Andre Jutras entitled "MOVENTA."  Then the band presents a piece inspired by the music of Russia, composed by Warren Barker entitled "OVERTURE A LA RUSSE," featuring Will Eckerson on trombone, Marc Cochran on trumpet, Ashleigh Rodriguez on mellophone, and Connie Fleck on tuba.  Following this is a serene ballad aptly entitled "BALLADE," featuring Ashleigh Rodriguez on mellophone, and Marc Cochran on trumpet.  Closing this year's program is the spirited and driving "FINALE," by Ed Huckeby.

The band is under the direction of Bill Perbetsky.  Drill Designer and Instructor is Silvia Perbetsky.  Band Front Instructor is Tom Sipe.  Guard and Visual assistance is provided by George Staib Jr.  Drill Assistance is provided by Rosalind Staib.  Percussion instruction is provided by John Stauffer and Tom Willard.  Music arrangements are by Bill Perbetsky.

The band would like to thank the Susquehanna Township School District and Music Boosters Association for all their assistance.  We would also like to thank the parents for their continued support and encouragement.  We are proud to be a part of this evening's activities, and we hope you enjoy the show! And now, the Susquehanna Township High School Marching Band!
