Band Prom
May 12, 2018
The Band Prom is a night where our band students get dressed up and dance! Students decorate the band room and bring snacks to share. The theme this year is, The Great Gatsby. It is a fun night for our band students! Please encourage your student to participate!
If you are able, we would love for you to help make the band prom a special night for our kids. Go to the following link to volunteer to send food or drinks, make a monetary donation, and volunteer to chaperone.
Leadership and Rookie Marching Camp • May 14 & 17 • 4:00pm – 6:00pm
The leadership have expressed an interest in getting to know our new members sooner. We will host new member marching training on May 14th and 17th to allow our new members a chance to get to know their leadership. One of the things that our leaders wanted to do was to host more section fellowship events throughout the summer. By meeting our new members before summer, we will be able to include them with the fellowship events. These will be fun, informative sessions to help the students get to know one another, but also prepare our new members for our 4th of July Parade better as well.
