Patrick Henry band disbanded until next summer
Roanoke AP Patrick Henry High School will suspend its award winning marching band through summer after about half of the 100 musicians quit under a new director this school year. Principal Jack Graybill said practice is canceled due to low turnout and not feasible. The band previously performed in the Cotton Bowl parade and won competitions at the Kentucky Derby and Winchester Apple Blossom Festival.
