MHS Marching Buccaneers competed in the DE Championship

bshupe October 31, 2023Education

On Saturday, the Milford High School Marching Buccaneers competed in the Delaware State Marching Band Championship hosted at Caesar Rodney High School in Camden, DE. The championship was a Tournament of Bands competition. Tournament of Bands contests are held throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region in nine different states. Saturday’s competition saw competitors from Region 9 which is made up of Delaware and portions of Maryland.

Our own Milford High School Marching Buccaneers entered in the festival class. This provides the opportunity for feedback from judges and a stage to perform the 2023 show, “Be Afraid”. Our band members showed no fear in performing the field routine: marching, playing and even dancing to share all that they had learned. They earned a silver ranking which is great for our first competitive year in some time.

The Milford High School Marching Buccaneers will be attending the University of Delaware Band Day this upcoming weekend.

Reins of Honor Fundraiser Brings Healing to Veterans and Active-Military Through Horses
On Saturday, April 26, Reins of Honor will hold its annual fundraiser to support programs that use horses to assist active-duty military and veterans coping with emotional and mental health challenges. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. along the 100 block of Moorton Road near Cheswold. The organization offers equine-assisted psychotherapy and other services designed to promote healing through interaction with horses. These sessions take place outdoors in a natural, calming environment and are guided by both a licensed clinician and an equine specialist. Some participants prefer engaging directly with the animals, while others benefit simply from being in the serene space among the horses.

These activities are conducted entirely on the ground—not as a riding program—and are structured to encourage emotional awareness and personal growth. Through forming bonds with the animals, participants often gain deeper insight into their emotions and relationships. The April 26 event will feature auction items, door prizes, and a 50/50 raffle. Tickets are priced at $30, and parking is free. All proceeds will help fund Reins of Honor’s continued work in offering unique, horse-assisted services to those who have served.
