Director: Mr. Brian Cyr
Dear Band Members, Boosters and Friends of The Maloney Band:
I thank you for taking the time to visit the new internet home of the Maloney High School Band. This site was inspired by the growth of the program and was crafted through input from students and Boosters over the past school year. From its new interface to its expanded capabilities pertaining to video, audio and ftp, the site is full of the very latest technology in order to meet the needs of our students. As our band grows, this site will continue to develop, keeping you up-to-date on the latest developments and happenings within our exciting and continually expanding program. I hope you will continue to visit us here on the web and continue to provide us with feedback on what you think of this new site. And of course... I hope you will continue to visit us in person and continue to support the many students in the Maloney Band by seeing them in action, at the many upcoming performances this school year.
Sincerely,
Brian R. Cyr
Director of Bands
Francis T. Maloney High School
