Ready for another great marching band season (Updated 9/17)

The SPFHS Marching Band wrapped up its pre-season band camp by presenting a preview of its 2014 show for family and friends on Thursday night. They put on an impressive run-through of the entire show.

We have two photo albums and a brief video of this year's band in its public debut. First, photos taken by alumni parent Dan Murphy from the top of the grandstand:



Dan switched from photos to video when the band presented its marching show. Here's an edited glimpse. (We don't want to give it all away!)



Band parent Dev Anjaria also took photos, including stills of the show. Click here or on the image below to go to that album.

Marching Band in 2014 Memorial Day Parade (Video, Photos)


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.



Also during the ceremonies in Scotch Plains, members of the high school choir sang "God Bless America."



Here's an album of photos of the band marching into downtown Fanwood, from band parent Dev Anjaria. (Click on this link or the image below to see the album.)

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.
