On May 27, members of the James Wilson Young Middle School band marched in the Blue Point Fire Department’s Memorial Day Parade.
Students joined members of the Blue Point community to remember those who fought and gave their lives for our country. Under the direction of band teacher Matthew Hurst, the band performed, “The Army Goes Marching Along” while marching up Blue Point Avenue.
Once the parade reached the Blue Point Fire Department, the memorial ceremony was opened with the National Anthem followed by a chorale. At the ceremony’s conclusion, eighth grade student Christopher V. performed the National Call of Remembrance, “Taps” on the trumpet.
