With the beginning of the 2023 Strath Haven Marching Band season comes new songs, new people, and new experiences.

Haven’s band is the largest in Pennsylvania and the second-largest band in the country, according to the marching band’s website. With an average of 400 members each year, enrollment is around a quarter of the high school.

Something that changes every year for band are the songs performed at the Friday night football games.

The songs for this season are; “Don’t Stop,” “Runaway Baby,” a Blink 182 mashup, “Holding out for a Hero,” and “Hooked on a Feeling.”

The songs are covered in two shows during the regular season, with a mix of all songs in the playoffs.

Sophomore clarinet player and field major Elizabeth Mboowa is confident in the band’s progress towards learning the new performances.
