NHS Marching Band Wins

Best Guard & Best Overall Effect

Performing along with 49 other high school marching bands, the Newtown Marching Band & Guard christened the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., on Saturday, October 2, with the new facilityâs first United States Scholastic Band Association competition.

The Newtown High School band and color guard and came away with the Best Color Guard and Best Overall Effect honors captions in their division, while narrowly missing first place in Division V Open Class by .298 points.

The Yamaha Cup competition was the third show of the fall season for the 117-member NHS Marching Band & Guard, and friends, family, and judges who had traveled to New Jersey for the event that featured high schools from across the Northeast.

Newtownâs score of 78.475 bested four other Division V schools.

This year the group is made up primarily of NHS freshmen and sophomores.

This weekend, the Newtown Marching Band & Guard will be in New Milford to compete in a Musical Arts Conference (MAC) show at New Milford High School. The October 9 competition will begin at 5:30, and Newtown is scheduled to perform at 8:30 sharp.

You assumption that there have been no offers to purchase property to protect it from development of 117 luxury cluster homes is simply wrong. And so is the developer's refusal to even come to the table.

Bits And Pieces

You do realize that the town has been trying, and failing, to develop this property for more than 20 years, becuase of the multitude of environmental harm that development would cause, wasting $250k of taxpayer money in the process, don't you? Thankfully, sometimes, realities and needs come before street names. The sewage treatment plant was a need - thats not 'commerce'. Well, the aquifer under 6 Commerce, and the Class1 trout habitat next to it are needs too. If you still are stuck on the street name getting the last word, you should probably ask the State why they designated 34 acres there as open space, when they granted it to us. And if you're still hung up on it after that, let's just change the name of the access road to #6 & #8 to something more fitting....like Conservation Drive....so you can be more at ease.

Since when is Economic Development narowly defined as tax revenue? You (and the leadership of the EDC) need to broaden your collective understanding of what drives local economies if you want to be successful in helping to grown the local economy. Here's a hint: Positive Cashflow. The town is no different than any business. Top line tax revenue means nothing if it doesn't exceed the costs that come with. That's why converting the last few remaining open spaces to residential housing is a losing proposition economically. CVHAS brings 10's of thousands of people to Newtown annually, who spend money at our restaurants, watering holes and other local businesses, without a signficant increase in, or dependence on, town services. Non-profits are fantastic for local economies, be they private schools, zoo's, museums, land trusts, theaters, or yes, animal sanctuaries.
