Marching Band Plots Movie-Themed Performance

Seaford High School’s marching band will pay homage to cinema this year, and the 107 musicians and color guard members have already begun learning this year’s show. The annual marching band camp was held from Aug. 4-7 and this year’s theme is “Seaford Goes to the Movies.” 

On the turf field, students practiced the marching formations, while song rehearsals mostly took place in the music rooms. The show, which will be just under 10 minutes, will feature music from “Avengers,” “High School Musical,” “Jurassic Park,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Star Wars.” It will be presented at the four home football games as well as the annual Newsday Marching Band Festival in October. The marching band also is part of the homecoming parade.  

Leading this year’s camp were high school band directors Christopher Coniglio and Dr. Anthony Romeo, middle school band directors Nicholas Coacci and Caroline Feryo, elementary band teacher Daniel Krueger and Seaford alum and 2021 All-State musician Angela Dean. Drum majors are seniors Cameron Calderaro and Brian Karaman.  

The camp featured several dress-up themes including America day and twin day, and culminated with a sneak peak of the show for families.
