Madawaska group performs with UMaine marching band, Fiddlehead Focus reports
Fiddlehead Focus reported members of the Pride of Madawaska Band recently performed for thousands of fans at the University of Maine’s Harold Alfond Sports Stadium. Twenty-five students joined the Pride of Maine Black Bear Marching Band for a halftime performance during an Oct. 6 football game. Valley Unified music teacher Taylor Martin, director of the Pride of Madawaska Band, accompanied the students, according to the report. “We went down to play with that band to gain experience, and to see how band members work together,” Martin said of the field trip to Orono. “The (UMaine) band has a lot of spunk and energy, and they are eager to mentor and encourage younger players. They are a great example of positivity for the students.”
