Westport’s ‘Virtual’ Memorial Day Parade

Members of Westport’s grade 6-12 bands played in this “virtual” Memorial Day parade extravaganza in place of the real thing.  Music teachers James Forgey, Lou Kitchner, Gregg Winters, and Phil Giampietro put together the digital performance aided by Staples High School media teacher Geno Heiter who spent hours merging all the photos with the final ensemble mix. It. will officially debut Monday at 9 a.m. on local cable channels 79 (Optimum) and 6020 (Frontier) and will be accessible on the Westport local government website as well as on YouTube and various social media platforms.
