Middletown's 'Screaming Eagles' Marching Band Enjoying A Great Season

The Middletown South Screaming Eagle Marching Band was recently chosen first in its division, besting bands from Toms River East, Toms River North, and Howell. 

Middletown South Director of Bands Michael Raguseo said in a statement, “We have a full schedule of games and competitions this year and we are looking forward to even more exciting moments ahead.”  The prize was awarded in Toms River on Sept. 29.

The field show this year features music from “Jersey Boys,” the Tony-award-winning Broadway show.  

The Screaming Eagles performed “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “December 1963 (Oh What a Night),” and “Walk Like a Man.”

The Middletown South Marching Band is led by drum majors Michael DeSocio, Thomas Mannarino, and Tara Smyth, and Color Guard leaders Jacqueline Marron and Lindsey Roesch.  

The band and color guard compete in four events before the end of the season. See the Screaming Eagles Middletown South when they perform during varsity football games.
