Buffalo High School senior Amanda Young will be West Virginia’s
representative in the
2008 Macy’s Great
American Marching
Band at the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day
Parade on November
27th in New York City.
Amanda, who has been first chair percussionist in the Putnam
All-County Band and the Region III West Virginia All-Area Band for
the past three years, was selected for her musical ability and past
achievements. She is a member of the Buffalo National Honor Society,
the WVU Invitational Honor Band, and a winner of the John Philip
Sousa Award. In addition, Amanda is a member or the varsity softball
and basketball teams.
Buffalo Band Director Mark Hopkins is justifiably proud of his
student: “The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is one of the highest
honors a high school musician can experience,” he states. “Amanda
has worked very hard to earn this opportunity to march with this
outstanding group of students from all over the country; this is
truly a once in a lifetime experience,” he adds.
The Buffalo High School music boosters are aiding Amanda in her
efforts to raise the funds needed to send her and a chaperone to New
York City. In addition to lodging and meals, Amanda must have air
transportation and incidental expenses required by the trip. The
cost of airfare, room and board and sightseeing for the week-long
event is $2,500. All money is due by mid-October.
Mr. Hopkins urges anyone who would like to help sponsor Amanda to
send a donation to BHS Music Boosters, Macy’s Parade Fund at Buffalo
High School, 3317 Buffalo Road, Buffalo, WV 25033.
