The Sturgis Brown High School Marching Band earned Top Band of the Day honors at the Black Hills State University Swarm Days Parade in Spearfish on Saturday, September 26. The Marching Scoopers performed during BHSU’s annual homecoming celebration, which brought students, alumni and community members together for a week of traditions and Yellow Jacket pride. This year’s theme was “Jackets in the Jungle.”
The band received a $500 stipend for participating in the parade and $1,000 for winning the top band award. The funds will help purchase additional band uniforms. Congratulations to the band members and band director Emily Young! The accompanying photo also features SBHS band alumni who now perform with the BHSU Band.
