FAIRLESS HILLS, PA — Ten schools performed in the 21st Annual Pennsbury Marching Band Festival hosted by the school district last month.
The Pennsbury school community came together on Oct. 17 for the festival celebrating the "talent, dedication, and spirit of marching band students" from across the Philadelphia region.
This year's festival welcomed Newark High School, Ridley High School, Wissahickon High School, Council Rock North High School, Abington High School, Upper Darby High School, Great Valley High School, Quakertown Community High School, and Kutztown University.
The Pennsbury Long Orange Line — which performs annually in the Action News Thanksgiving Day Parade — also took the field in exhibition to represent our district.
"The festival was a tremendous success, thanks to the support of Pennsbury administration, the Pennsbury Instrumental Music Boosters, and the many student and parent volunteers who worked together to make the event possible," school officials said. "It was wonderful to see our community come together to support music education and celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of these outstanding student musicians."
The Long Orange Line was headed into State Championships at Downingtown East on Oct. 31 and the National Championships on Nov. 4.
