Continuing with tradition, the SPFHS Marching Band and Color Guard took part in the annual Scotch Plains-Fanwood Memorial Day Parade on May 26, 2014. The band played the National Anthem to begin the ceremonies in downtown Scotch Plains. It then joined the line of march down Park and Martine Avenues to the parade's conclusion in downtown Fanwood.

Spring Choral Concert 2014 - Photos

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School choirs and other singing groups presented a two-hour-long Spring Choral Concert on May 21.



Choral director Jan Allen noted that this year's seniors are the first class she has taught from freshman year to graduation - and that some of them also had been her students at Coles Elementary School.

The show wrapped up another wonderful spring-concert season at the school. We also have photos from the Spring Instrumental Concert and the District Jazz Night. As always, we welcome your contributions of photos and/or links to videos from these and any other SPFHS musical events.
