Student Spot Light
Gabe Saliaris is a junior at Cedar Cliff High School who plays snare drum in the marching band. One of Gabe’s favorite parts of marching band are the competitions. The competitions are always fun as it is a culmination of all the hard work that everyone has put in to the activity and the thing that everyone looks forward to. His favorite memory is the first nationals performance at MetLife stadium. The first time that he walked into that stadium he had a feeling of awe and adrenaline that is rare to come across in life.
Jackson Laboy is the mellophone section leader and brass captain for the west shore marching band. He will be a senior at Red Land High School this year. Jackson has only been in the marching band for 3 years when most would do 4-5. The experience he has had over the past two years is phenomenal. "I got the section leader position my second year. The mellophone section is an over all wonder and goofy section that never fails to put a smile on someone's face. I would have to say that my favorite memory from the past year was our traditions, my favorite is when we all stand in circle put our fist in a name something that we love about our section," says Jackson.

Our marching band is growing and is in need of some new equipment for our show this season. We require a drum set cart, new drum harnesses, marching cymbals, drum stands, microphones and other audio gear. There is a possibility we will be using timpani in the show. If that happens, we will need to have the marching band timpani refurbished.
