Stay up to date!

School may be closed, but band is OPEN!

School may be out for summer, but band is just getting started!  Please read this entire post and be sure that you are informed and ready for the upcoming events! Also, it is getting hotter outside everyday. Please start to spend some time outside and drink LOTS of water. The more water you drink, the easier it will be to bear the temperature outside. Matter of fact, if you are drinking water and staying inside, you may start to feel cold. Just step outside to warm up a little bit, drink more water and repeat. Most of us only drink water when we are “thirsty.” Well when you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Please be proactive about drinking water. Get on a schedule and you will feel better immediately, but also will be thanking yourself during band camp.

Work Day

We will have a work day on June 30, 10:00 am – noon. We would love to have lots of
parents and students present and ready to help get the band room ready for a new school year. Wear clothes that can get dirty (maybe even bleached)! If you have them, bring brooms, mops, and rags.

It is a lot of work, but a great way to get to know one another! We hope to see you there!

Fourth of July Parade

  • Rehearsal – July 3rd from 8:00 am – 11:00 am at the Trojan Band Room.

Have you started drinking – WATER?

Please make sure your student is dressed to practice in the heat and that he or she brings water to drink, preferably in a personal water jug. Students will receive their parade t-shirts and new band students will also get their band shorts. Returning members may purchase a new pair of shorts for $15.

  • July 4th People’s Parade

8:00AM Load the trailer at the Band Room

9:00AM Report to the Bank of the Ozarks – next to United Community Bank behind Dairy Queen

10:00AM Parade Steps Off

*The parade ends at the Robinson Salvage (formerly K-Mart) and Sit & Sleep parking lot. Please have your parent pick you up from this parking lot. A good idea is for your parents to park at the end of the parade and watch us as we cross the finish line : ) Traffic is usually easier to navigate on this side of town after the parade. If you have a large instrument it is easy to access the band room by taking the bypass, too.

Volunteer Sign Up

Please go to the following link to volunteer the day of the parade. We will have 4 water stations along the parade route for the band. Coolers will be in the band garage the morning of the parade. They will be labeled and ready to go! You will simply pick up the cooler and take it to your assigned location. After the parade, you will return it to the band room.
