On May 31, the North Babylon High School Marching Band participated in the
annual North Babylon Memorial Day Parade. Students in grades nine through twelve
performed a version of John Philip Sousa’s “The Stars and Stripes Forever” to honor our
fallen service men and women.
The parade concluded with a ceremony at Phelps Park where senior Jacob Gerdes
performed “Taps” and junior Kennedy Royal performed “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The
North Babylon Marching Band used their performance as a salute to the nation’s current
military members and to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
