Blue Devil Marching Band Home Show on Sunday

The Huntington Blue Devil marching band’s home show and competition is set for Sunday, October 20 at Blue Devil Stadium. The action begins at 1 p.m.

Many of Long Island’s top high school marching bands will be performing, including Copiague, Walt Whitman, Levittown Division Avenue, Sachem, Roslyn, Malverne, Brentwood and Huntington.

Tickets priced at $12 for adults and  students  will be available at the gate. Children under 12 years of age will be admitted free. All proceeds will go to the Band Parents Assn. of Huntington, a not-for-profit that enhances the Blue Devil marching band program.

The bi-annual Huntington Blue Devil marching band home show is a competition level show for New York State Field Band Conference and scores will count for the band’s conference standings. Awards will be presented after the final performance.

Huntington’s renowned marching band is recognized as one of New York’s best, winning multiple state championships.

“It has been a truly amazing season for the 2024 HBDMB so far,” said Andre Rizzuto, a Huntington High School music teacher and the marching band’s director. “The amount of dedication and passion these students have given to this program and this year’s production is incredibly inspiring. I would like to give a special thank you to our wonderful Band Parents Association of Huntington for all their support and love to the program and for assisting in coordinating a wonderful home show, as well as our district, administration, staff and community members for all their support.”

“The home show has long been a crucial part of maintaining the Huntington marching band over the years,” said Ivy Soric, co-president of the BPAH. “All proceeds from this year’s competition will go directly towards helping our kids; giving them the tools and support they need to continue participating in the activity they all love. My own children have been a part of this program for 10 years now and each of them have been infinitely impacted by the Huntington Blue Devil marching band. We want to make every effort to continue to inspire all students for years to come.”
