This month the Remember When Club will be remembering “Marietta’s Marching Music”. Join our special guests band director Boyd McKeown, band member Bill Dunaway and drummer Jim Rich as we take look back at Marietta’s band program thru the decades. We encourage members of the community that participated in the band programs to attend and share their tales, memories and appreciate for the band program in our schools.

One extra note, the Band Room at Marietta High School will be dedicated to Mr. Boyd McKeown at 7:00 PM, April 18, 2017. The Cobb New Horizons Band will perform along with the MHS Band in at the new MHS auditorium and Mr. McKeown will conduct CNHB playing "The Music Man".
