As part of our coverage of South Kitsap High School Marching Band’s participation in the Rose Parade, we are hosting this March to the Roses blog.
The blog is truly a group effort. Contributors include Kitsap Sun staff, band members, Band Boosters and a school district official. Meet the bloggers.
Paulla Santos, a senior, is lead drum major. Paulla keeps the
band in line with a firm hand on the baton.

James Damian, a junior, is the second of three drum majors, with
Simone Schaffer.

section leader.

Kathryn Simpson is school board president. She and her daughter Stephanie, a senior at SKHS, will be band groupies, following the band to L.A. and checking in on their adventures. Stephanie also will contribute to the blog.
You, too, can be part of the action. Other band members, parents and friends of the band can upload pictures and videos to the Kitsap Sun’s Web site under the South Kitsap Band March to the Roses heading. We may pull some of them to the blog. E-mail comments and observation for publication on the blog to chenry@kitsapsun.com.

Just saw the band on TV, and as a former Rose Bowl Parade participant (Los Angeles All City Marching Band, 1980) I just wantd to say that you represented Port Orchard and the Wolves with an outstanding performance. Congratulations.
