The Salem Invitational has been a favorite for years. For our student musicians it gives them the opportunity to see what and how other marching bands are performing. As Matt Lovell has stated on numerous occasions, it nurtures the creativity of everyone! From the smallest groups of perhaps 30 members to the largest of over 300, it is a lovefest of musicians and appreciation for the genre.
WORD OF WARNING: Dress warmly. Hats, gloves, blankets, bench warmers, hand and foot warmers, you know the drill! The cold settles in pretty quickly! Also, food concessions are available and in past years souvenirs (t-shirts, etc) have also been available for purchase.
PS: This event is hosted by the music boosters club of Salem High School. The coordination for this event is absolutely mind-boggling!
