2nd Annual Band-o-rama (photos)

Drum major Logan Kippnick conducting.

The Manchester High School held its BAND-O-RAMA on Saturday in the High School gym. The performance started with High School Jazz Band and concluded with the Manchester Marching Band. Admission was by donation with all proceeds going toward the band’s uniform fund in order to replace old and worn out formal wear. The bands were down multiple students due to illness and conflicting obligations, but still put on a wonderful show!

This was the second Annual Band-o-rama; the first, held in 2019, replaced the Annual Glow Show which only featured the flag corps and drum line instead of the whole marching band. It was formerly held the first weekend in December, but moved to November when the popular Co-op Preschool Chili Cook-off was moved to occur on that date.

If you missed Band-o-rama, you can support the band by attending their Mattress Sale Fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 20th 10 am to 5 pm at Manchester High School.
