Abigail Nicholas to Perform in Pride of The Valley Marching Band

2016 Aug 18

Abigail Nicholas of Reinholds, Pa., will march with the 2016 Pride of The Valley Marching Band of Lebanon Valley College. Nicholas, a graduate of Conrad Weiser Area High School, is pursuing a bachelor of science and bachelor of arts in music education and music at The Valley.

The marching band performs at all home football games as well as exhibitions including the Cavalcade of Bands Championships in Hershey, Pa., and the Collegiate Marching Band Festival held in Allentown, Pa.

During the upcoming football season, members of the 2016 Pride of The Valley Marching Band will present their show "Rhapsody." The premise of this year's show is to take three great pieces of music with the word 'rhapsody' in the name and make a great show. "Rhapsody" features music from and inspired by "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin, "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" by Sergei Rachmaninoff, and "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

The band is under the direction of Dr. Christopher J. Heffner, director of bands and associate professor of music. Drum majors are Michael Halcovage, Meghan Owens, and Katelyn Neiswender.
