Upper Perkiomen parents have unanswered questions about the high school marching band director who they say has been transferred to the middle school. According to one parent, who wished to remain anonymous, the superintendent told concerned parents of band members that the reason was a personnel issue and he couldn't discuss the details.
A meeting for parents whose children will be taking music lessons or who wish to participate in the high school band in the coming school year will be held at the high school at 7 p.m. on May 11.

Sunnybrook Ballroom is bringing polka back. The venerable institution, located off High Street on Sunnybrook Road in Lower Pottsgrove, is trying to revive a version of the former Polkafest that once took place there.
The new Polka Gala will be held this Sunday, May 3, starting at noon and will feature two different Grammy nominated polka bands.
Thomas Sephakis, the head of the Sunnybrook Foundation, which purchased the ballroom and is trying to restore it to its former grandeur and place in the community, is hoping that a successful Polka Gala will result in a future two-day event, though there were no plans to revive the three full days of festivities that the former Hartenstine family used to have.
