On Saturday, Jan. 8, fans at the Houlton varsity boy game versus Madawaska were treated to a performance by the Houlton High School Alumni Band. These dedicated individuals gathered for one hour to rehearse for the pre-game and halftime festivities. The most experienced alumni were David Flemington Class of 1951 and Mike Clark Class of 1954.
This year’s family award was a tie between combined mother-daughter classmates. Jill Hutchinson Sewell and Brittany Henderson Benn from the Class of 1979 were joined by Lizz Sewell and Jersha Benn from the Class of 2007. The band was directed by Joe Fagnant and David McGillicuddy and treated to lunch by the SAD 29 Music Boosters organized by Peggy McGary and assisted by Sherri Targonski and Leslie Ross.
