Marching Competition at Trumbull High School Saturday

Several local bands will compete.

The Trumbull High School Golden Eagle Marching Band will host its 33rd annual Fall Classic competition at Trumbull High School on Saturday, September 26th starting at 5:00.

The Classic gives our own award winning high school marching band the opportunity to showcase its talent and host a large number of regional bands. This year’s line up will be slightly different as we have added other bands to the program.

In addition to the 8 area high musical units that include Naugatuck, Brien McMahon, and Norwalk; there will also be 2 local University Bands, Sacred Heart University from Fairfield CT and the University of New Haven from New Haven. We are also pleased to announce that crowd will be entertained this year by 2 local Alumni Corps. They are the Westchester Brassman from Harrison , NY and the Park City Pride from Bridgeport.
