Mineola Marching Band Claims Second Place at State Competition

Members of Mineola Union Free School District’s marching band received their highest score in school history and placed second in their statewide division at the New York State Field Band Championship in late October.

Eighty of the student-musicians in the marching band worked on their show “Haunted” since the beginning of May under the direction of Frank Mauriello.

In their final competition of the season at the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University, they scored an 89.25, rendering them a final standing of second place in their division. Congratulations to all of those who worked so hard perfecting this routine this year.
