SHERBURNE – Thanks to everyone who came out to support students from across the state during the 74th annual Sherburne Pageant of Bands, which ran Thursday through Saturday in Sherburne.

If you were here for Saturday’s Pageant Parade, we know you enjoyed the weather as much as the marching band, color guard and drumline performances down Main Street. Our Elementary, Middle and High School bands kicked off the Parade, which featured dozens of other school districts and special recognition for the Sherburne Fire Department’s 'Person of the Day,' Daniel Andrews.

Thanks to SECSD Superintendent Robert Berson (Awards Ceremony emcee), SEHS Principal Michael Waters (Parade emcee), SECSD Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Dr. Antoinette Halliday (Pageant scorekeeper), S-E Band Directors James Behret and Amy Hoxie, and all of our judges, volunteers, parents, students and spectators.

If you missed the Parade or want to see it again, you can visit our Facebook page to watch videos of the live streams and view dozens of photos from Saturday’s big event.
