Please see the following message from Robert Sears, K-12 Supervisor of Music
History was made this past Friday as the 2023 South Brunswick High School Viking Marching Band took center stage at the NFL's first-ever Black Friday Game! Their performance was a culmination of dedication and talent showcased throughout the season, earning them a remarkable seventh-place standing nationally in the USBANDS Group 5 Open Class National Championships.
Their captivating field show, 'Purification,' which portrays the life cycle of a coral reef, garnered attention not only for its artistic brilliance but also for its socially conscious message of environmental awareness and hope. The South Brunswick Environmental Commission and Town Council recognized the band's outstanding contributions and commitment to crafting a show that resonates deeply with the community.
Under the guidance of directors Mr. TJ Brungard, Mr. Joshua Oldham, Ms. Lorin Arcure, and Mr. Jacob Ford, this achievement stands as a testament to their creative vision and dedication.
The unwavering support of the Performing Arts Parent Association (PAPA) has been pivotal in ensuring the band's success, providing crucial support behind the scenes.
SBVMB was contacted with an exclusive invitation from the USBANDS competitive circuit to headline as halftime entertainment during the NFL game between the Jets and the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. This incredible opportunity not only showcased our students' exceptional talent but also served as a source of immense pride for the entire South Brunswick community. (Below are some photos from the event.)
