In Melrose, there is always something to do, and many ways to get involved in the community. This week, the Mayor’s Office is highlighting a few ways to show support for Melrose Public Schools, particularly the Melrose High School Marching Band and the Melrose Education Foundation. 

Marching Band Competition

This Saturday, Melrose High School is hosting a Marching Band competition at the Fred Green Field featuring a Melrose High School Marching Band performance at approximately 7:35 p.m. according to this schedule.

In addition, Merrimack College and Boston University will perform towards the end of the evening before awards are announced at approximately 8:50 p.m.

The Mystery Night Out
October 22, 7 p.m.
Mystery Night Out locations will be revealed one week before the event

The Melrose Education Foundation is thrilled to announce the return of Mystery Night Out on Saturday, October 22, at 7 p.m.

Mystery Night Out is a series of concurring events at homes across the City, all on the same night. While your Mystery Night Out location remains a surprise until days before the event, rest assured you will be surrounded by community members who are interested in supporting our schools and engaging with friends and neighbors.

Thanks to the generosity of our Mystery Night Out hosts, not only do guests have the opportunity to enjoy a night out, but every ticket dollar raised supports the Teacher Innovation Fund, through which the Melrose Education Foundation provides grants directly to Melrose educators.

See you there...but where? Tickets available at Melroseedfoundation.org.
