SHS Marching Band Preview Show

The Southington High School Marching Band will perform excerpts from their 2012 competition show at their annual open house.  All parents, friends, younger musicians, supporters and community members are welcome to attend. 

This is an opportunity for the students to showcase the hard work they put in during Band Camp, which runs for 8 hours a day from August 13-24.

The performance will be held on the Band's practice field at the back of the HS property, behind the soccer fields.  Please allow enough time to walk back and find a place to watch on the hill.  In case of rain the performance will occur in the auditorium.
