Monday, we had the pleasure of having AHS' Band Director, Chris Miller, speak at Rotary. With over 75 members, it is the largest high school band in the county. Not only have they performed in numerous parades, including Savanaha's St. Patrick's Day Parade, and football games, including SC State Homecoming, but they been also selected to perform in the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, DC. It was an intense selection process, and they will take about 40 students to perform, visit the Smithsonian, watch the Memorial Day concert, and lay a wreath at Arlington Cemetery.
There are plenty of opportunities to support them.
They will be collecting donations at the Walmart in Georgetown
on March 28, 29 from 10:00-4:00;
April 18, 19 from 9:30 - 4:00;
and May 2, 3 from 9:30 - 4:00.
You can also contact Chris Miller at Andrews High School - 843-264-3414 with any donations you may have.
You can also support them by attending the Spring Concert at Andrews High School on May 12. This concert showcases the band and chorus classes, which are taught by Mr. Miller's wife, Beth Miller.
If you would like to watch the worldwide broadcast of the parade, it is streamed live online, then televised to more than 100 million homes across the United States on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and CW stations, along with worldwide to every military installation and Navy ship at sea on American Forces Network.
