Martinsville High School To Perform National Anthem: The Martinsville High School marching band, which was founded the same year as Martinsville Speedway, will make a marching appearance and play the National Anthem prior to the running of the TUMS QuikPak 500 on October 19. Martinsville Speedway opened on September 7, 1947. That same fall, Ralph Shank, who directed the 29th infantry band in World War II, formed the Martinsville High School band. This will be the third time the entire band has performed in prerace at Martinsville Speedway. The band has performed in many other venues and events, including the 2006 Governor’s Inaugural Parade for Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, the Washington D.C. St. Patrick’s Day parade, at Universal Studios in Orlando, and at Disney World on three occasions . The Martinsville High School marching band averages 150 students and the band program as a whole regularly includes over 20% of the student population. Seven of the last nine Valedictorians at Martinsville High School participated in the band program. The Martinsville High School band is under the direction of Kevin Lewis, Brian Joyce and William Norris. Tickets for the TUMS QuikPak 500 are on sale and may be purchased by calling 877.RACE.TIX or online at www.martinsvillespeedway.com.(Martinsville Speedway PR)(10-15-2008)
