We're always happy to add to our collection of SPFHS musicians, whether the images are fresh, less recent or historic.

We're now catching up on videos from the past year submitted by band parent Maria Mulcahy. We've added three from the May trip to Disney World: Maria's view of the Main Street Parade, and two videos from the Moonglower's performance. Click here to see them!

If you take photos or videos of upcoming SPFHS musical performances, or have shots of old shows, we'd be happy to share them here. Click here to e-mail Dan with photos, links or for instructions on uploading directly to our collection. Thanks!
