SHENANDOAH – For three years in a row, the bands at Shenandoah Valley and North Schuylkill each received a $1,000 grant from the Peter R. Marsh Foundation.

The grants, the school’s band directors said, were received “for staging musical performances specifically aimed at the adult population in our community.”
