Norwell's Marching Knights threw a party at The Castle on Friday (Jan. 23), celebrating 10 consecutive years of success at state champs and beyond.
In 1999, the band qualified for the state champs for the first time since 1987, placing sixth. They repeated that success in 2000, and in the eight years since then, have made the top three on seven occassions, with only the fourth placing in 2007 blocking that particular run of success. The band has won the state title on three occassions (2002, 2005 and 2006), and also won national champs twice (2002 and 2003.)
In 2008 the band placed second at the state champs.
The band’s 2005 season was also the first undefeated season in its history.
Members of those past bands joined current band members in performing at the Norwell vs New Haven girls basketball game (won by Norwell of course!) and at half time during the varsity contest, a special ceremony honoring band members was held.
