(The student is still responsible for all other band fees) Scholarship recipients must have enrolled in the Gloucester band, committed to marching season with the Marching Dukes, stayed in good standing with their current band program, shown an excellent class attitude and musical progress, and maintained a 3.0 overall GPA with an "A" in band.
