Chris' Marching Band Page

I was in the Monroe Township High School Marching Band as a member of the Drumline. Here's a look at the competitions and events we participated in.

For the 2005 season, I was named Drum Captain. This was totally unexpected, and I considered it a great honor.

For the 2006 season, I was named Drum Captain again. In the four years I was in high school, the Marching Band achieved our highest scores in the last two shows of this season. The Drumline, along with the rest of Percussion, had a pretty successful year as well.

Thanks to Mr. Martin Griffin, Rodney, Don, and everyone else for all their hard work and dedication to us.
