Dear Eagle Regiment Families,
We hope you had an amazing weekend! We would like to congratulate our amazing MSDi indoor percussion on their success in Dayton, Ohio! Placing 10th in their division and 19th overall in WGI Scholastic Marching A Championships. We would also like to congratulate our Eagle Regiment students in Stryke Winds on their success this weekend at the WGI Independent World Championships. We are so incredibly proud of their successful season!
It's such an exciting time for our program, and we are grateful for all the work the students and staff have put in. Thank you for the continued support from our amazing families!
Thank you for everything you do—let’s go Eagle Regiment!

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
The Marching Eagles Parent Association is happy to announce we are able to bring back The Steve Golodner Scholarship in addition to the John Rusnak Memorial Scholarship.
The John Rusnak Memorial Scholarship was established in 2018 in memory of Mr. Rusnak and his love and life's dedication to the Stoneman Douglas Eagle Regiment Program. John Rusnak was the founding band director at Stoneman Douglas High School. A $500 scholarship is awarded annually. The scholarship is awarded to a graduating student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who exemplifies Mr. John Ruznak's love of music, a dedication to performance excellence and intent to continue an active participation in music and/or performing arts education beyond high school.
The Steve Golodner Scholarship was established in 2004 in memory of Steve Golodner. Steve was a very active Eagle Regiment parent, member of the field crew, and voluntarily took it upon himself to video tape and photograph the Eagle Regiment, as well as compiling the first year end video montage that we all treasure. A $250 scholarship is awarded annually. The scholarship is awarded to a graduating student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who embodies Steve Golodner's spirit of giving, dedication and positive energy.
Seniors, should you be interested in applying for either scholarship, please fully complete the attached applications and return to mepapresident@eagleregiment.com for our scholarship committee to review.
