Busing Error Leaves Brick Dragons' Band Upset

Members of the Brick Township Marching Dragons expressed dismay over a busing error that made the band late for the game against crosstown rival Brick Memorial and unable to perform before the game, according to the article. But school officials apologized to the band members and parents and said measures have been put in place to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
