TOURNAMENT OF BANDS

 SPARTA HOSTS FIRST EVER MARCHING BAND COMPETITION

By Emma Muth

On Sunday October 10th, the first ever home marching band competition took place. Even though it was a rainy day, people came from all over Sussex County to support their high school's marching band at the competition. Additionally, Sparta alumni were present to support their old marching band. 

There were many fundraisers held at the event, such as 50/50 tickets, getting candy grams for a member of the band, and getting an air gram that our very own Dr. Gianuzzi announced over the loudspeakers. The community also enjoyed some delicious food from the Snack Shack.

As for the actual performances, they were all amazing. Each show was so original and impressive, and it can easily be said that each band put so much effort into their performances, making them interesting and fun to watch. Sparta High School is very proud of our own show, “Crown and Glory,” and sends a special congratulations to the drum majors, Kayleigh Simpson, Georgia Paraskos, and Pagie DeGiovanni, for conducting the band! Great job to Sparta Marching Band!
