Invitational 10.26.13

NMBI 40

Welcome! On behalf of Newark High School, the Newark Department of Athletics and the Pride of Newark Marching Band, welcome to the 40th Annual Newark Marching Band Invitational! We are pleased to present this wonderful showcase of bands and hope you enjoy your experience here this afternoon.

It has been a great pleasure to prepare this event, and could not be possible without the efforts and time of our dedicated Band Parents. Their love of bands, children and music could not be more evident.

We would also like to thank all of the parents today from all of the performing groups. Without your support and dedication to your children and these programs, none of the performances here today would be possible.

We hope that the Newark Marching Band Invitational will prove to be a very positive musical experience in the lives of the students performing today. We wish each band good luck and we thank these student musicians for sharing their talents with us this afternoon.

Welcome to White Field and please enjoy your afternoon!
