Rustin's Marching Band Performs National Anthem at Phillies Game

Rustin High School’s Marching Band was invited to perform the National Anthem at the Philadelphia Phillies versus Chicago White Sox baseball game on September 21. Fifty students traveled from Rustin High School to Citizens Bank Park to participate in the once in a lifetime experience, performing in front of a crowd of nearly 22,000 fans that included West Chester Area School District parents, siblings, and staff. The students, under the direction of Michael Shoremount, the Director of Bands at Rustin High School, earned a hearty ovation from the crowd as well as players from both teams following their performance. The Phillies went on to win with a final score of 8-3.
