Marblehead & Swampscott High School musicians join in Shipping Up to the North Shore
Wicked Local
North Shore high school band directors are a pretty tight-knit bunch and when one came up with a collaboration idea, nine others decided to pitch in.
The 10 schools created a virtual ensemble video of the Drop Kick Murphy’s “I’m Shipping Up to Boston,” renamed “Shipping up to the North Shore.”
Marblehead band director Kevin Goddu said it was during a summer Zoom call that Danvers High School band director Jeff Daniels came up with the idea.
“I’m pretty new to Danvers High School; this is only my second year here,” Daniels said. “But I knew a few of the other band directors in the area, so I reached out to them and said, ‘let’s try to do a collaboration together.’”

“We have this new tradition at the end of every class, everybody turns their cameras on and they hold their artwork up to the camera,” said Shirley Huller White, a visual arts teacher at Marblehead High School. “I’ve got my nose up to the computer screen. It’s just a nice moment and it s our little way of building a community.”
