Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Tonight we are proud to present the 1992 edition of the Susquehanna Township High School Marching Band! The band is comprised of 50 musicians and 18 color guard members, and is under the field direction of Drum Majors Leslie Minnick, Will Eckerson, and Johanna Bechtel.

This year marks the band's third year of competition, and has awards of best music, best marching, best Drum Majors, best band front, best percussion, in addition to second and fourth place finishes at Chapter VI Championships.  The band also holds the honor of representing Chapter VI at Atlantic Coast Championships the past two consecutive seasons! One of our primary goals is to provide our audiences with a demanding, yet entertaining musical and visual program.  We are certain you will enjoy this year's program!

This year, the STHS Band brings the sound of Jazz to the field, opening with the classic "GEORGIA ON MY MIND," featuring Chris Peddigree on trumpet.  Next, the band presents a new and unique arrangement of the standard "BLUES IN THE NIGHT," arranged by Bill Perbetsky, featuring the talents of Marc Cochran on trumpet, Ashleigh Rodriguez on mellophone, Will Eckerson on trombone, and Connie Fleck on tuba.  Closing the show is a beautiful ballad appropriately titled "LET IT BE ME," featuring Ashleigh Rodriguez, Amy Sedor, and Jordanna Langiotti on mellophone, and Marc Cochran on trumpet.

The band is under the direction of Bill Perbetsky.  Assistant director and drill designer/instructor is Silvia Perbetsky.  Assistance drill instructor and visual assistant is Brian Peffley.  Color Guard instructor is Tom Sipe.  Assistant guard instructor is Heather Peffley.  Percussion instruction is provided by John Stauffer, and assistant percussion instructor is Ray Powell.

The STHS Band would like to thank the Susquehanna Township Music Boosters Association for their continuous assistance, support, dedication, and faithfulness; the STHS Board of Directors, as well as the STHS Administration for their interest in our efforts, and last but not least, our parents, who have always believed in us!

We now ask everyone to sit back, relax, and join us in this evening's "Journey In Jazz!".  We hope you enjoy the show! And now... the Susquehanna Township High School Marching Band!
