Garden City HS Marching Band Gets Silver In Competition

GARDEN CITY, NY — On Oct. 15, Garden City High School's marching band came in second place in a US Bands competition held at Northern Highlands High School in New Jersey.

Under the direction of Daniel DellaMonica, the band received the high score of 80.6. It competed against eight other bands from high schools throughout New York and New Jersey.

Amanda Hauser, the district coordinator of music and the arts, said that the band has been working tirelessly since August in show preparation, and its recent success is a testament to the students' hard work, passion and unwavering commitment.

"Throughout the season, the students have formed a bond both on and off the field,” Hauser said. “Whether they are cheering for other bands from the stands, connecting on the bus, or baring their souls on the field during a performance, the students have exceeded all expectations.”
