High School Marching Band is taking steps to

director.
“Never underestimate the strength and determination of
the students,” says Russell Tybus, director of bands at
MOHS. “I think we just scratched the surface of what they
are capable of. Next year will be even more intense than
ever.”
In his fourth year as director, Tybus says this was the
first year that “we won every competition.” The MOHS
marching band received first place in three of its shows;
received second place in the New Jersey State
Championship on Oct. 24 at Old Bridge High School; and
received fourth place at the Northern States Championship
held Oct. 30 at the J. Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown,
PA.
In addition to placing at its competitions, the MOHS
marching band moved up in its class ranking. Up until last
year, the band was an “A” class, which Tybus described as
playing for the minor leagues. But by the end of the 2009
band season, the MOHS marching band was placed in an
“Open” class.
“That’s like playing for the majors,” describes Tybus. The 2010 MOHS marching band consisted of 96 kids in songs.
Open class bands play with more seasoned and experienced grades 7 through 12. Compared to other bands, it was an This year’s theme was called “An American in Europe,”
