The 2016 Clipper Marching Band season is about to come to a close! Our final performance is this Sunday 10/30 at the NESBA Finals in Medford, MA. Step-off time is 5:35pm. The students, staff & volunteers have worked incredibly hard to put together this year's production of Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring. Thank you to everyone for your hard work, contributions and sacrifice. Please click here for a copy of the itinerary for Sunday.

Here are copies of the itineraries for this weekend’s band events. It is a big weekend with back-to-back football game and competition performances. Click here for Friday's home game itinerary. Click here for Saturday's NESBA Billerica itinerary. There is a slight change to Saturday’s itinerary. Our departure time from PHS has been moved from 4:15 to 4:30 and our performance time has been moved from 7:20 to 7:30. Everything else is unchanged. Students who will be taking the PSAT’s on Saturday morning should bring everything hat they need for the day so that they can join us right after the testing session. We will not be starting rehearsal until noon (report is 11:45am). All PSAT students will be dismissed from the Friday evening football game at the conclusion of halftime to get home a little earlier. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Only 17 days left in the marching band season. Let’s have a GREAT finish to our season. Thanks so much for all of your support!

We have made it to our first competition weekend. Please be advised that there are some slight revisions to the NESBA Wakefield, MA itinerary. These adjustments are all in the late afternoon & evening. Our step-off time is a little earlier (7:40pm) and we will be arriving home a little earlier (10:15pm) as well. Please see the updated itinerary here.

On Saturday, September 17th, Portsmouth High School will be playing host to the first "official" PHS Clipper Band reunion. This event is a celebration for the past and present members of the Clipper Band. To date, over 120 alumni are planning on attending. It should be a fabulous event. There is even an alumni band that has been formed to perform along with the current Clipper Band members. On Friday evening at the second home game, alumni are invited to join the band in the stands as performers and/or spectators. Colorguard alumni plan to participate during the halftime presentation of Hail to the Varsity along with the current edition of the Clipper Band. On Saturday, there will be morning & afternoon Concert Band rehearsals, followed by a free community concert from 4-5pm in the PHS Gymnasium. In the evening, there will be an adult/alumni event at the Regatta room in Eliot, ME starting at 7pm. For ticket information, please click here. Please click here for an itinerary for the current student/band members. All music files (pdf part copies) and audio practice files can be found by clicking here.
