In honor of Gloucester’s 400th Anniversary, you are invited to join in a special musical performance on Friday evening, October 27th at halftime during the Gloucester High School football team’s final home game of the season!
Gloucester City Councilor Jeff Worthley has organized a fun performance of the Gloucester High School Band, O’Maley Middle School Band and their guests. The High School and Middle School bands have been practicing and will be ready to welcome 50 additional local musicians who can capably play the four chosen songs to join them. The expectation is that local musicians will commit to joining the students, download the respective musical parts, practice on their own and join in a brief pre-game rehearsal on the Newell Stadium bleachers at 6 pm.
At halftime, the GHS and O’Maley bands will take the field with alumni and other Gloucester musicians to entertain the home crowd with some fan favorites including the GHS Fight Song. Gloucester High School Music Director Cole Lundquist, O’Maley Middle School Music Director Carlos Menezez, City wide Elementary band and interim O’Maley Middle School Music Director Jaime Klopotoski, Former Gloucester Schools Music Director, Cape Ann Community Band and former Cape Ann Symphony Manager Dave Benjamin as well as Gloucester fan favorite and organizer of the Gloucester Fish Cakes Paula Burns are extending this invitation to their networks with hopes of a lively performance!
Parents of these groups will be getting information shortly. Getting the word out to other local musicians is the biggest challenge at this point so please help us spread the word. For local musicians wanting to join in this musical tribute, contact GHS Music Director Cole Lundquist at 978- 281-9870 or Jeff Worthley at 978-836-0423.
