Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School held its annual "home show" on Sept. 20, playing host to marching bands from 15 other schools in US Bands competition. Thanks to the tireless efforts of many Music Boosters volunteers, the show was a great success.

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.
