Plymouth Whitemarsh Marching Colonials Proudly Present…

CAVALCADE OF BANDS COMPETITION Saturday, September 30, 2023 Colonial Field, Plymouth Meeting

Promoting a Culture of Collaboration, Innovation and Inspiration

Marching Colonials 2023 Cavalcade of Bands On behalf of the Colonial School District, I am honored to welcome the Boston University Marching Band and guests to the 2023 Cavalcade of Bands Show hosted by Plymouth Whitemarsh High School. Tonight we are honored to induct recently departed former PW Band Director Ron Holly and his late wife, former CSD Music teacher, Sylva Holly into the Plymouth Whitemarsh Band Boosters Hall of Fame.

Our congratulations go out to our own Marching Colonials as they perform this evening and through the season under the direction of Band Director Mr. Bobbey Biddle. Best of luck! We would also like to extend a special thanks to all of the Marching Colonials staff! We would like to thank you for your time, effort and dedication to our students.

Marching bands are a significant piece to a school culture. Student musicians, color guard members, band staff and parents devote significant time and effort to bring the highest levels of excellence. As a result, this enhances our school culture and pride while working with our surrounding community.

An event such as this one shows what is possible when the schools, parents, and community join together for the benefit of education, the arts and our youth. In addition, family members commit their time and talent to fund-raising, transportation and a variety of other tasks.

We thank all of you for your contributions to your school communities and for your participation in the 2023 Cavalcade of Bands Show at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School!

Sincerely,

Mr. Jason R. Bacani Principal Plymouth Whitemarsh High School

On behalf of the Plymouth Whitemarsh Marching Colonials and the Plymouth Whitemarsh Band Boosters, we want to welcome you to the 2023 Plymouth Whitemarsh Cavalcade of Bands. Tonight’s performances are a culmination of the hard work, dedication, and commitment of the students, directors, staff, and families of the bands. We are so thankful that you have decided to join us, and truly hope that you enjoy the show.

We would like to thank the Colonial School District for their assistance and cooperation in helping to prepare this year’s show. We would especially like to express gratitude to the Facilities Staff of Plymouth Whitemarsh, without whom none of today’s events would take place. We would also like to thank all of the sponsors who have supported us through advertisements in our program. Please take a moment to read through it and take note of our community support. Finally, we would like to thank all of the Boostersthe parents, family members, and volunteers who have helped us put this show together.

Big or small, every donation has helped us in some way, and for that we are grateful.

Lastly, we want to thank the PW Marching Colonials and all of the students performing tonight. You inspire us with your hard work and dedication, and we could not be more proud of you and your accomplishments.

Awards Keith Stimson High Percussion Award This award is presented to the highest scoring percussion section in memory of Keith Stimson, a former Plymouth Whitemarsh drumline member who died unexpectedly in his junior year at PW. In 1987, Keith was attending Tech school studying Commercial Art. He loved working with other students and various school activities and was chairman of the American Red Cross Blood Drive.

In addition to band activities, he was a member of Colonial Players and appeared in his first production, The Sound of Music, as the youngest von Trapp son. He enjoyed working behind the scenes and especially loved working on the lighting for the school productions. He was the first student to program all the lighting for the 1987 spring production of the Colonial Players. Keith was a member of the rock group called “Silver Mane,” with their last performance at the cast party for the production of “The King and I,” on April 4, 1987.

When not in school, Keith could be found outside enjoying his skateboard. Before he died, he auditioned and was chosen to be a member of the Bridgemen Drum & Bugle Corps, located in New Jersey. Keith had a zest for life, people, and a strong dedication to school activities.

Adam M. Wilson Overall Music Award The Adam M. Wilson Overall Music Award, in honor of Adam M. Wilson, symbolizes his commitment to the Plymouth Whitemarsh High School music programs, including the marching band, concert band, jazz band, orchestra, chorus, and theater productions.

Adam was diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system, at the end of his sophomore year, after having successfully auditioned for the role of Drum Major with the Marching Colonials.

He courageously fought the disease for 10 months while being home schooled during his junior year until he died in April, 2000.

Cherry Hill East Marching Band

Written By Joshua V. Hinkel for Marching Monk Certain emotions are ubiquitous in the human experience. They are present in every culture, in every time, and in every part of the world.

Masks! expresses three such emotions—excitement, serenity, and rage—in their most abstract, primal forms. Each movement is dedicated to one of these emotions…to reflect and express them on the marching band field using symbolic forms creating a musical and visual impact.
