Saturday, September 7 saw the Marching Tigers, and the SPHS Music Boosters, gearing up for the first competition of the season. A lot of planning, effort, time, and dedication went into getting everyone ready for the debut of Behind the Smile at the first TOB Competition!
From fitting all the uniforms, to reorganizing the trailer for maximum space, to new artwork for the sails, all Music Boosters and Musicians alike are to be congratulated on such a great start to the season.




Meals on Wheels was on hand to feed the band some fantastic dishes – the Happy Meal theme was a hit – as were the cookies.








Loading the trailer is an art, not a science!


Setting up at Raritan – new sails with a Joker-y smile.



Students sheltering from the brief rain before showtime – but the Boosters work in all kinds of weather!


And sometimes they play, too! Fun with Flags.






SHOWTIME!
Insert Rapturous Applause Here.



And then it’s time to pack back up and wait for the results.
Congratulations to the South Plainfield Marching Tigers – First Place (out of four) with a score of 75.71! Way to start off the season strong!
Thank you to all the Volunteers and the entirety of the SPHS Music Boosters Group –
Great Job Everyone!
