raise money for the music program.

is available in the High School Music Programs.

New Marching Band Uniform Sponsorship forms.
After 25 years of representing the “Tradition of Excellence”, the East Bridgewater High School Viking Marching Band will be getting a new look.
The band’s current uniform style has been in existence since 1979. The uniforms are worn, faded, out-of-style and are no longer available.
The Music Parents are looking for individuals, families, businesses and groups to sponsor a uniform.
Names of sponsors will be placed on plaques at both the GWMMS and EBHS, along with a photo of the EB Viking Band of 2004 in the new uniforms. Sponsors will also receive two free tickets to the Pops Concert in April, and the Home Show in October. An appreciation banquet for sponsors is also being planned for the future.
