The Parkside Colorguard will be hosting a "Flapjack fundraiser" (all
you can eat) at Applebees to defray some of the cost for next year's
visual program. The event will take place on Sunday, July 25th from

The West Virginia University
Percussion Ensemble will conclude it's 2010 tour with a Performance
right here in Salisbury! On May 14th, 2010, the WVU Percussion
Ensemble will perform in the Parkside High School Auditorium at 7:30
p.m. This performance is open to the public. All proceeds will
benefit the WVU Percussion Ensemble and the Parkside High School
Band. More information regarding the performance will follow.
If you are unsure about what a
"percussion ensemble" is, think of an orchestra, comprised of nothing
but percussion instruments!
The answer is YES…and much more.
On March 7th, the Parkside Jazz Ensemble traveled to Dove Pointe to
perform for the Salisbury Wicomico Arts Council's "Dining with the
Masters" dinner and fundraiser. The band was extremely well received
and received two encore performances. In the words of Mr.
Zaczkiewicz..."My thanks go out to all of the students involved with
this performance. It was a great honor to have been asked to perform
at such a 'high profile' event, and what more appropriate way to
support the community than performing at a fundraiser for the arts
council. We are looking forward to developing our relationship with
the SWAC. Their fundraiser was an extremely classy evening of great
food, great company, and, of course...great music!"
Congratulations to the Parkside Symphonic Band for their recent
Festival Performance at Kent County High School. The band received
straight superior ratings (I,I,I, sight reading I). This is the
highest possible festival score. The Symphonic Band performed the
following works.
Warm up - Marching Along - Robert M. Geisler
O Magnum Mysterium - Morten Lauridsen trans. H. Robert Reynolds
Black Granite - James Hosay
In the words or Mr. Zaczkiewicz..."I was very pleased with the
band's performance. We tackled some very difficult literature this
spring and despite the historic snowfalls, remained focused on the task
at hand. My thanks go out to my students for not letting all of our
time off get in the way of the Parkside band's long tradition of
excellence."
This performance marks the 8th consecutive year that the Parkside Symphonic Band has earned an overall "Superior" rating.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please join me in congratulating Amanda Fodor (senior) for
qualifying to perform with the 2009 All State Senior Orchestra (3rd
chair French Horn). This is an extremely prestigious honor for a high
school musician, and it is very rare that anyone from the Eastern Shore
qualifies (she is the only student from the entire shore this year).
Amanda studies privately with Mary Bison of the Baltimore
Symphony, studies music with me in the Wicomico County VPA program,
travels to many University Honor Bands as far away as WVU and Towson,
and participates in many musical ensembles including the Parkside
Symphonic Band, Salisbury Symphony, and Salisbury Community Band among
others.
Also, congratulations are in order for Erick Miranda (sophomore)
and Sarah Ha (freshman), who also auditioned for the group. They both
gave great auditions, and certainly deserve our recognition for all of
their hard work. I am extremely proud of these student's musical accomplishments
and I feel fortunate to have Amanda represent the Parkside High School
Band at the festival. If you see Mandy, please be sure to congratulate
her.
Thank you,
The Parkside Marching Rams traveled to Hershey, PA on November 8th to
compete in the Atlantic Coast Championships. They placed 8th with a
93.00 which is the highest score in Parkside's TOB history.
Congratulations to the Parkside Band students and staff for a
tremendous marching season.   
The Parkside Marching Rams earned Second Place with a score of 91.45 Saturday at the Chapter IX Championships at Broadneck.
