About:
We have one highly sought after turf field in our community. Due to the pandemic all of our schedules have been put to the test. Our band needed a venue to perform what would historically be an indoor concert, but used our outdoor stadium because the spacing guidelines allowed for more spectators.
Matt Repucci, the leader of our band, had our Elementary Band, Middle School Band, Jazz Band and High School Band all perform together. On the day of the concert we played two lacrosse games and were pushing the limits on the start of the concert. Our Varsity girls lacrosse team brought out the chairs, music stands and some of the larger instruments(xylophone, bass drum, etc) as the members of the band were warming up at another location. Without the lacrosse teams help the concert would have been delayed.
Many hands make light work, the concert went off on time without a hitch and both lacrosse teams were victorious. It was a great day for our community! We are very grateful to have so many students willing to help out other programs when needed.
