Students Perform and JROTC Supports New Windsor Memorial Day Parade

The Town of New Windsor held their annual Memorial Day Ceremony and Parade over the weekend. JROTC marched and presented colors. The NFA Band and the Heritage Middle School Band performed as they marched. NFA Band member Luke Ramjug performed Taps during the ceremony.

TheHeritage Middle School band enthusiastically performed arrangements of popular classic rock songs by Pat Benatar and the band, KISS to their appreciative audiences. The HMS band will also be marching in the Town of Newburgh’s Memorial Day Parade, which stars at 1 pm this coming Sunday, the 26^th. 

JROTC is led by Master Sergeant Granda and Colonel Edward Seward.
