Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Not all the stars at Panther football games are on the field. The Saucon Valley High School marching band plays a big role in generating school and community spirit at football games and events throughout the year. In gratitude for their performances and recognition of their talent, Saucon Source is proud to recognize this year’s SVHS senior band members with our “Senior Band Member Salute.” We thank band director Michael Marini for his assistance with compiling these profiles.

My parents have always encouraged my siblings and me to pursue music. I keep playing because music is an enriching part of my life.

I want to attend the University of Pittsburgh for biology and chemistry. My plans do involve music, as I would love to be a part of Pitt’s marching band.
