Princeton High Studio Band raises more than $1,500 for Trenton music program
A check for $1,531 was presented to the Trenton Music Makers on Jan. 10 by Amanda Kewley of the Princeton High School Band Parents Association.
The Princeton High School Studio Band raised the money at the annual Jammin’ with Santa event held on Dec. 15. The event, organized by the Band Parents Association, featured holiday tunes played by the Studio Band, photos with Santa and Mrs Claus, crafts and refreshments.
For two decades, the Trenton Music Makers program has provided children with Trenton-based opportunities to learn and play music together.

Music is the thread that pulls everyone together. Thank you, PHS Studio Band!
It’s very nice that parents organize the fundraisers for these kids. The issue here, in the era of #metoo is that the band director spews racist remarks and excoriates students with profanity laced tirades. For anyone that feels that #metoo is an important issue, they should evaluate very closely if they want their child in the classroom with this teacher.
