Congratulations Palmyra High School Concert Band, under the direction of Mr. Jeffrey Moore, performed at the 2026 New Jersey State Band Gala, hosted by William Paterson University on Sunday, April 26th, 2026! 
As their award letter states, "Participation in the State Band Gala represents the highest level of achievement in the New Jersey State Band Festival process. Each year, high school concert bands from across the state participate in regional festivals, where ensembles are evaluated on musical performance, preparation, and overall artistry. Only four ensembles from each region (North, Central and South) earn a performance slot at the Gala, making this invitation a distinct honor for your school and community."

We are truly #PalmyraProud of our small but mighty group that continues to amaze us with their musical talents!  Fans are invited to join us for our Spring Concert Series this month: 
May 14th @7pm is our Concert Band Concert.  Bands from 7th & 8th Grade along with our High School Band will perform in the new auditorium for the first time as a group!
