“We here at Stagg are honored to host the 32^nd Annual Marching Band Jamboree,” said Band Director Robert Mecozzi. “Each participating band has spent countless hours rehearsing in order to present the high quality shows. The Jamboree is a celebration of that time and that effort. This is an event that wouldn’t be possible without the support of our outstanding students, staff and administration. It also wouldn’t be possible without our wonderful community, who have always been huge supporters of not only the Stagg Jamboree, but of our entire Fine Arts program. We encourage everyone to come on out and see some of the finest bands in the state perform.”
