As items trickle in, this area of the site will be updated with information about where we've been, what we've accomplished and how the band program has progressed.  Since I've gotten my hands on the information, I thought it would also be a treat to provide some little known information on how the music program in the district actually started.

There are also some other little facts about the marching band.  For example, did you know that we are the only eight time champions in Chapter 6 Group 2? There are several other Central Pennsylvania bands that have accomplished a number of wins at Chapters including Mechanicsburg and Carlisle (groups 3 and 4 respectively).  Did you also know that the band actually competed in Group 3 during the 1993 season? Well, they did, but were not able to compete at ACCs due to a bus accident at the stadium.

In 1992, the band placed 17th at Atlantic Coast Championships.  In 2002, we came out of ACCs in 2nd place, the best finish to date, which was repeated in 2003.  I found a letter from then Superintendent Dr. Holtzman dated November 1992 that was at one point displayed in the band room.  You can view the letter here.
