Marine Park
Break out the batons for the Madison Marching Band. The group from James Madison High School performed at the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run and Walk in Battery Park (in that other borough) on Sept. 29 — after cheering participants from atop the World Financial Center. The annual event raises money for rescue workers and soldiers injured in the line of duty, and supports children who have lost a parent.
The band, led by co-directors Rebecca Ellis and George Vilson, stepped up the beat with great oldie but goodie hits, including “Dance to the Music” by Sly and the Family Stone, and “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire.
