Sean King recently assumed the duties and title of Director of the US Scholastic Band Association. The shift, made just before the USSBA’s 20th Anniversary season began, has provided to the stability of the Association now halfway through its nine-week run of events.
King has served as the Director of Marketing, Development and Corporate Relations for more than four years, and as an adjunct for eight years prior to YEA!’s move to Allentown in 2004. While his transition to the USSBA is in place, King and George Hopkins, CEO of Youth Education in the Arts, are sharing responsibilities related to the support of the fund raising and marketing functions.

The band will perform again the next day at the United Palace Theater in Manhattan.

The thrill of performing in spectacular Giants Stadium could be seen across the faces of thousands of students Saturday as the notable Yamaha Cup took center stage in New Jersey’s Meadowlands.
For Freshman Amber Gaydos, the moment she caught the first glimpse of the enormity of the stadium from the field tunnel, the words “Oh my God” came from her lips. “Seeing it like this makes me really nervous!”
Gaydos, a colorguard member of the Manchester Township High School Marching Band, was one of many first-time performers at Giants Stadium, a venue of World Class caliber. In all, 44 marching bands performed in the US Scholastic Band Association’s Yamaha Cup. From noon until very late in the evening, music, color and passion filled the air as young performers and musicians dazzled crowds with show concepts that ran the gamut.
