Band of the Week: Otsego High School Marching Band
The Knights under the lights are our latest featured band.

WTOL 11 Band of the Week heads to Otsego for week seven to visit the 65 members of Otsego High School's marching band.

“It’s like a whole new system and everything so we’re getting used to everything, but I feel like it’s been a lot of hard work and this is well deserved,” snare drummer Neil Amborski said.

Principal Kevin O'Shea shared some interesting facts about the group. Several members of different families take the field together each week. Four band members might make you think you're seeing double, because Otsego's ranks include two sets of twins.

The entire band has put in the work to put together a great show.

“During band camp, it’s exhausting,” clarinet player Sofia Ellis said. “It’s been hard rebuilding after a COVID year when we didn’t really march that year.”

Friday is a special night for the Knights both past and present.

"This week is our homecoming game," O'Shea said. "And we look forward to welcoming back several alumni to perform with us during pregame, halftime and in the stands."
