The “Pride of Malverne” is getting an early start to the season. The aptly-named marching band, 125 members strong, has been practicing at Malverne High School to prepare for the upcoming competition season. Last year, they won the national “For Whom the Band Tolls” Metallica-themed marching band competition, and they show no signs of losing momentum.

During the week-long band camp, the students are not only rehearsing their brand-new field show entitled “Arabian Dances: Legends of Love and Lore,” but are also putting their dedication and spirit on display and developing friendships and camaraderie with their bandmates, many of whom are incoming freshmen and new to the program.

The season kicks off on Sep. 15 and culminates with the New York State Field Band Conference Championships in Syracuse, NY on Oct. 27.
