Strike Up The Bands BY CATHY MOLITORIS
When Manheim Central High School hosts its marching band invitational, expect to see a little bit of everything. “Every band has sort of a story they’ll be telling, and it’s exciting to see what each school does for their program,” said Bob Stauffer, who is organizing the event. The Baron Invitational will be held on Saturday, Oct. 30, beginning at 5 p.m. at the football stadium at the high school, 400 Adele Ave. Stauffer said that at least nine bands from the central Pennsylvania region will compete in the event. “You’ll see the performance you’d see at halftime during a football game,” he explained, adding that the bands will be judged on a variety of elements and will be awarded prizes. This will be the fourth judged event this season for Manheim Central’s band, he noted, which will help the band prepare for the Cavalcade of Bands Championship held in Hershey in November.

A Sweet Time In Manheim BY CATHY MOLITORIS
ayton Shoenfelt loves Halloween. Now the Manheim Central High School sophomore is hoping to share her enthusiasm for the holiday with the community. She’s organizing a Trunk or Treat, an event hosted by Manheim Central Student Council. The Trunk or Treat will be held on Thursday, Oct. 28, from 5 to 8 p.m. in the back parking lot of the school, 400 Adele Ave. “I came up with the idea for this,” she stated. “I wanted to do something fun for the community.”

As Payton explained, Trunk or Treat is open to anyone in the Manheim community with children age 14 and under. “Students who have cars and also a bunch of businesses will be getting together to hand out candy,” she stated. “The cars will be decorated, and we’ll give out candy from the trunk. It’s a fun way to go trick or treating in one safe, condensed area.” She encourages participants to bring a bag to collect their candy. Donations will be accepted at the event for the school’s Mini-THON,
which will be held in the spring. “Mini-THON helps to raise money for kids who are struggling with pediatric cancer,” Payton remarked. “It’s part of the bigger Penn State event called THON.” Trunk or Treat is one of several small fundraisers for Mini-THON held throughout the school year. Payton, who will be dressed as a scarecrow for the Trunk or Treat, said she loves Halloween for many reasons. “I love that everybody gets to dress up in fun costumes. I love going around and getting candy, and I just love the chance to
celebrate,” she explained. “It’s just a really fun holiday.” She noted that the Trunk or Treat will be held the night before trick-or-treat night in the Manheim community, and she encourages people to come out for a fun event. “It’s going to be a great time for people to get together and have a good time while getting lots of candy,” she said. “And it’s also a chance to support a great fundraiser at the same time. I hope people will come out to celebrate Halloween and to give whatever they can toward Mini-THON.”
