Each Child, Each Day... Excellence
For the first time in ten years, “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band returns to Clover, South Carolina, as part of the band's National Concert Tour, performing a free concert at 7:30pm on Thursday, October 29, at Clover School District Auditorium.
For full details, please visit www.marineband.marines.mil/Tour or visit www.clover.k12.sc.us/csda. Free tickets are now available (please limit four per request) by calling the District Auditorium at 803-222-8018. Select option 4 and leave your complete name and mailing address. Seating is general admission and ticket holders must be seated by 7:15pm. Remaining seats will be released to the standby line at that time.
“We are incredibly excited to continue the tradition of our national concert tour,” Marine Band Director Lt. Col. Ryan Nowlin said. “Musicians of the band are more eager than ever to share their musical talents with audiences live, and in-person on this year's tour.”
Nowlin has programmed musical selections in the style of the band’s 17th Director John Philip Sousa, who initiated the concert tour tradition in 1891. Concertgoers can expect a mix of works including traditional band repertoire, Sousa marches, contemporary compositions, vocal and instrumental solos and a patriotic salute to the Armed Forces.
“We have tremendously appreciative patrons who come to Marine Band concerts for all types of different experiences, so our programs are designed to include a great variety of music that mirrors the wonderful diversity in our national musical heritage,” Nowlin said.
Since Sousa was first granted permission to tour the country by President Benjamin Harrison in 1891, “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band has delivered a White House experience from Washington, D.C., to the far-reaching corners of our nation, and these special concerts have been shared by generations of Americans. During the 30-day National Concert Tour, the Marine Band will perform 27 concerts in the following states: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
The Marine Band is America’s oldest continuously active professional musical organization. Founded in 1798, the band has performed for every U.S. President since John Adams. Known as “The President’s Own” since the days of Thomas Jefferson, the Marine Band’s mission is to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps.

As the late great Mike Culp would say, “It’s a great day to be a Blue Eagle!”
Friday was certainly one of those days as the Clover Schools Alumni Association brought together generations of Clover graduates to celebrate Homecoming in a very special way—the ALL CLASS Reunion! Designed to raise funds for the Alumni Association’s scholarship fund for the District's graduating seniors, the event also served as a special celebration of Clover High School’s 50th anniversary on its current campus.
Reunion guests enjoyed delicious food served by CHS alumni, including Iron City BBQ (Jason Merritt ’97), Max’s Frigid Frog (Brandy and Chris Lee ’98), Rob Sherer’s Fish Fry (Rob Sherer ’72) and It’s Worth It (Lynsey Comalander ’16). DJ AM (Angela Mallen ’98) kept the vibe going throughout the evening with music spanning every decade.
Even with periods of inclement weather, alumni enjoyed catching up with old friends, sharing memories and making new ones before heading over to cheer on the Blue Eagles as they defeated rival York in South Carolina’s longest active rivalry game.
Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate, reconnect and show their Blue Eagle pride—and a special thank-you to the Clover Schools Alumni Association for bringing generations of Blue Eagles together for such a memorable night!
Once a Blue Eagle, always a Blue Eagle!
Rain and lightning couldn't spoil the Homecoming fun on Friday night as Clover High School took on rival York in the longest active rivalry game in South Carolina. The Blue Eagles continued their EIGHT-year winning streak, defeating the Cougars 33-17 and picking up their first region win of the season.
The Homecoming Court, representing members of the large senior class, looked beautiful as they took the field during the halftime festivities. Congratulations to this year’s Homecoming Queen, Gabriela Salinas, and runners-up Emileigh Montgomery and Maggie Deal!
What a way to continue a week filled with tradition, school spirit and Blue Eagle pride! Spirit Week concludes tonight with the annual Homecoming Dance. Have fun, Blue Eagles!

🇺🇸 Constitution Day | September 17 🇺🇸
Today, we celebrate Constitution Day, marking the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787, and honoring the foundation of our nation’s government.
In our schools, today is an opportunity to help students understand the rights and responsibilities that come with being a citizen and the importance of the principles that guide our democracy.

Legacy and tradition are taking center stage this week at Clover High School as Homecoming festivities fill the campus with Blue Eagle pride. Today the celebration continued with the annual Homecoming Parade, featuring the award-winning CHS Band, cheerleaders, dance team, Student Ambassadors, FCA, the Science Department and many more groups that make the Clover High School community so special.
Following the parade, students cast their votes for Homecoming Queen, carrying on a beloved tradition that has been part of the Blue Eagle Homecoming experience for generations.
Today was also “Colors” Day, and each class proudly represented its own color: seniors in gold, juniors in navy, sophomores in gray and freshmen in green.
During this year where CHS celebrates 50 years on its current campus, Spirit Week is an extra celebration of the people, pride and legacy that make Clover High School special.
Go Blue Eagles! Beat York!

Bachelors of Broadway will appear at the Clover School District Auditorium (CSDA)
Thursday, October 1, at 7:00pm. Individual Tickets are $20.00.
Take a trio of dashing men, add soaring melodies from stage and screen, and then refine the sound with contemporary three-part vocal harmony — you've got a ticket to BACHELORS OF BROADWAY: Gentlemen of the Theatre. This exciting three-man act features lush symphonic arrangements of songs from modern and classic musicals like WICKED, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, JERSEY BOYS, 42ND STREET, HAMILTON, MISS SAIGON, THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, DEAR EVAN HANSEN, LES MISERABLES, and many more.
Starring New York City's top theatrical talent, BACHELORS OF BROADWAY offers a fresh take on audience favorites that have captivated millions worldwide.
Created in 2022 by the same producing team responsible for worldwide sensations SHADES OF BUBLÉ, TWO ON TAP, and NYC3, this fresh new take on classic and contemporary songs from stage and screen marries the magic of Broadway with artful new musical settings: imagine “A Million Dreams” from THE GREATEST SHOWMAN as if it were performed by a classical crossover group... or audience favorite “Pure Imagination” with a soulful pop groove straight out of THE WIZ.
Audiences love the familiar melodies from Rodgers and Hammerstein (THE KING AND I, CAROUSEL, SOUTH PACIFIC) joined together in an original orchestral medley, and the animated musical films that reinvigorated Broadway in recent years (ALADDIN, TARZAN, HERCULES) get their own beautiful medley as well.
Thrilling voices and exciting new arrangements of theatrical music both fresh and familiar come together in BACHELORS OF BROADWAY, generating standing ovations from audiences of all ages.
