Marching Lions Win 2nd Place Marching UnitPosted by: Mr. Wright in General, Marching BandCongratulations to the Marching Lions Band for winning the 2nd Place Marching Unit at the Chestertown Tea Party Parade. On Saturday, the Marching Lions Band participated in the Chestertown Tea Party Parade for the 7th consecutive year in a row. Due to a schedule conflict with the facilities here at the High School that I just learned about yesterday afternoon, we will be holding Tuesday’s Mini Camp at Centreville Middle School. The times will remain the same from 6 – 8 PM.
I look forward to seeing everyone there as we start another exciting season!
