Union Pines Band
F
or the third year in a row, the Union Pines Marching Band will open the Buggy Festival after the Presentation of Colors and opening words at 9 a.m. The Union Pines Marching Vikings is a high school band unlike any other. The band, under the direction of Rob Hill, compete in the largest competition divisions in marching band competitions. The marching band competes against 4A and 5A schools, despite their classification as a 3A school — this is very rare and not
typical for a high school band. The band is quite accomplished for being a high school marching band. They have received straight superior ratings at all of their competitions. The marching band has also represented the state of North Carolina at the National Festival of States performance in San Antonio, Texas, which was a very prestigious honor. They will play a selection of songs to officially open all Buggy Festival activities.

He attended Union Pines High School and graduated in 1970. After high school, he worked for Robert Lea and married Susan Side
