Norwalk High School's Marching Band to Celebrate Spirit Night on Friday

The Norwalk High School marching band and color guard have been hard at work at “band boot camp” preparing the 2013 fall show, “iSpy”.

In the words of NHS band director Chris Rivera, "iSpy is a journey viewed through the eyes of a spy.  Around each corner a new adventure awaits: a diamond heist, a chase and a love interest will unfold.  Exciting music and creative visual programming will provide the backdrop to this mystery caper.  Will our spy get the girl and the diamond back? Only time will tell…"

Please join director Rivera, the hardworking staff and students, school officials, local dignitaries and a crowd of alumni, family and friends on Friday, August 23rd at 7:00 PM for Spirit Night and the first public performance of iSpy.  

The MAC Champion NHS Marching Band has a long history of excellence, and is known throughout the area for its consistent levels of high achievement, hard work and showmanship – and the 2013 season is already shaping up to be one of the best yet!
