2016 WARRIOR MARCHING BAND CAMP

Each year the high school’s band program hosts a mini marching band camp to help student musicians get ready to perform at the home varsity football games.  Band leaders – aka drum majors – teach new members the band’s marching technique and direct the rehearsals. Together they practice all of the music to be played in the stands as "pep" music and work on the musical numbers for the half-time performance.

“I am very excited about this year’s freshman class,” said drum major Amanda Sanok, a flautist in her senior year. “They are focused and talented, and we are going to have a great marching band season.” Freshman Katie Dullaghan and Crystal Dixon were excited to be learning so much in one short day, and surprised to feel so welcome and comfortable around experienced band members. 

UPDATE TO STUDENT RECORDS POLICY: NEW “OPT-OUT” POLICY FOR LIMITED DIRECTORY INFORMATION

Minisink Valley Central School District is committed to providing the community with district news and information about student-related activities, events and achievements – through newsletters, media releases, the website www.minisink.com and our new Facebook page.

This news may include photos of classroom activities and programs, sports events, drama and musical performances, award ceremonies, honor roll lists and other academic recognitions, the annual yearbook, etc.  As previously announced in the district’s August Newsletter, in order to facilitate the sharing of this news, the district has amended its approach to what is known as “student directory information.”
