| Many changes were occurring for the band in 2011, starting with Dr. Timothy Todd Anderson being hired as the new band director. The band’s new home was finally completed and on November 5th, 2011 the building was officially named the George N. Parks Minuteman Marching Band Building. The band has continued to thrive and grow under the direction of Dr. Anderson ever since. Notable performances include the 2013 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a Fenway Park performance that was a part of on-field tribute to the survivors and first responders of Boston Marathon bombing in 2014, performances at the Massachusetts State House for Governors Deval Patrick and Charlie Baker, and playing in the Patriots halftime show in 2018. In 2017, the band received new uniforms for the first time in almost 20 years, and debuted them at the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California on January 1st, 2018. | Many changes were occurring for the band in 2011, starting with Dr. Timothy Todd Anderson being hired as the new band director.
