And that's a wrap! Concluding the 2023 competitive season, the Ridgewood High School Marching Band ended with a bang in Allentown, PA. The band took home caption awards for best visual and best color guard in their 2nd place finish of 93.7. All the emotions in the world flooded the faces of these talented musicians as drum major Bella Salerno called out "At ease!" to a crowd of stoic faces. Laughs, cheers, and sobs of joy could be heard and seen as months of work had finally paid off. There are times in life where the world enfolds in front of you, and you wish you had the power to stop time to live in the moment forever. There are moments where you realize you are making lifelong memories with people that mean more than the world to you - people that have changed your life at an unimaginable level. When you realize how meaningful this program is to these students, you understand their passion to succeed. This is what it means to be a part of the Ridgewood High School Marching Band.
