The band, which concluded its season in October, showcased exceptional talent and dedication, culminating in a commendable second-place finish at the New York State Championships held in Syracuse.

During the meeting, officials expressed their pride in the students' hard work and leadership throughout the season, which began in June. The marching band’s performance not only demonstrated their musical and athletic skills but also served as a source of inspiration for the community. The band’s directors emphasized the importance of student empowerment, noting how the young musicians took on roles as leaders, helping to refine their performances and support one another.
