Bishop Feehan Band Caps Off Season at Giants Stadium

On November 9th, the Bishop Feehan High School Band competed in the their first U.S. Scholastic Division II Open Northern States Championships at Giants Stadium placing 3^rd and taking home awards for Best Visual and Overall Effect. They missed first place by just .275 of a point.  Lead by Drum Major, Brandon Murphy (S. Attleboro) and Color Guard Captain, Mackenzie Smith (Cumberland), the Feehan band remained undefeated up to this point as they virtually swept every competition of the season, including the U.S. Association’s Division II Open New England Regional and the New England Association Championships.  They remain undefeated for two years in NESBA.  “They rose to a new high,” commented Joe Taylor, band director, “This certainly has to be one of the best bands Feehan has put onto the field.  They were truly outstanding in every respect, especially considering the venue.”
