Column insulted tirelesss work of band
Mr. Joseph Fenimore's guest column on July 19 ("Matawan Regional field improvements a waste of money") regarding the installation of lights and artificial turf to the Matawan Regional High School football field contained several inaccuracies.
Throughout the summer months the Matawan Regional High School Marching Huskies practice in the evenings. In the month of July these practices occur twice per week until 8 p.m. During the last two weeks of August, the band rehearses five days per week until 10 p.m. In the summer and during the school year the band, including the drumline, never practices past 10 p.m.
The band does not use the main football field for practice. Instead, we use one of the school's parking lots. The installation of lights on the football field would not change our practice schedule.
The Matawan Regional High School Marching Huskies work for hours over the summer and during the school year. We work tirelessly to provide quality entertainment at our school's football games and to bring numerous honors and awards to our school. To have our hard work referred to as "torture" is a great insult to the students, teachers, and parents who dedicate themselves to the program.
