After winning two New York State Championships in a row (2007 & 2008) as well as many WGI Percussion Championships in the last four years (2006, 2007 & 2008) the Central Square Field Band of Paul V. Moore High School will be moved up into the National Class to compete against some of the best schools in the Northeast and the country. The promotion was delayed by the conference board but finally became official toward the end of May 2009. The members and instructors as well as boosters and parents look forward to competing in the highest class.

Central Square Field Band at Paul V. Moore High School wins first place and the Governor’s Cup at the New York State Field Band Conference Championships. This is the second year in a row that the group won the top place in this competition and proved that they are able to defend their title as champions. Congratulations to anyone that is a part of this group and especially to the members of the 2007/2008 field band.
