## Background

[edit]

South Hagerstown High School opened its doors in the fall of 1956. The many buildings of South High were planned by Washington, D.C. architects McLeod & Ferrara, and they were built by Norman S. Early and Son of Hagerstown. The architectural design of the school won first place in a national competition that year. The school was dedicated to the service of youth and the community.

The South Hagerstown Indoor Percussion won the 2015 KIDA(Keystone Indoor Drill Association)[2] Championship. This is the 5th time in 33 years and is the first win since 2000.[3]
