The Jonathan Law Band is nearing the end of their 2025 marching band season – but that doesn’t mean their year is done.

The Band, led by director Mr. Pelaggi, has worked hard on their performances this season, which included football games, pep rallies, parades, and other events. They are currently working on their performance for the upcoming Thanksgiving Day football game. After their season comes to a close, they will head into their concert season. 

Junior drummer Carson Ferguson has been putting in a lot of work and focus to perform the best he can. 

“I think the band season is going very well,” Ferguson said. “I feel like I’m improving noticeably over the course of the marching band season.”

During marching band season, Law’s Band performed at all the home football games. 

“It’s a lot of fun getting to cheer the football team on,” sophomore drummer Grace French said. “I have fun talking with my friends and performing the songs we’ve put so much work into.”

Junior McKenzie Forte has some goals for the upcoming concert season. 

“My main goal is to grow as a leader,” Forte said. “I think the best part about being a leader is making everything fun. I’d like to learn not only musically but also expand the social aspects and skills of the band.”

French set some personal goals as well.

“My goal for this year is to expand on which percussion instruments I play in concert band,” French said. 

The band is very welcoming and they have many traditions for the upcoming holiday season.

“During the holiday season, we put up and decorate our non-specific holiday tree,” Forte said. “It’s a very funny yet cute way to celebrate everyone’s diverse cultures during the holiday season. I find it really cute when we set it up and buy personalized ornaments for it as well.”
