Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to all of our band dads!! Thank you for going above and beyond for all of our students!

Congratulations to Grady Bush for attending the Southeastern Drum Major Clinic! At the clinic he met students from across Georgia and received expert instruction from former UGA Drum Majors such as Laura Moates Stanley, Eric Willoughby, Josh Byrd, and Jeremy Trimmer among others. We are excited for Grady to bring his new experiences and experiences back to Carrollton during band camp. It’s exciting when our students enroll in extra opportunities for growth.

Parents, if you have photos of your children attending summer camp we would love to share them here. Please email them with a short description of the camp to Dr. Carr at Christopher.carr@carrolltoncityschools.net.

Water Donations

We are collecting water donations for the marching season. The first time we need water is on July 3 when we are hosting all of the bands in the county. We ask that each family either donate 2 cases of bottled water or make a $10 donation towards the purchase of bottled water.

A huge thank you to Yancey Equipment Rental for their generous donation of a pallet of water to get us started!

World’s Finest Chocolate

We received 65 more boxes of chocolate that is available to our members to sell for credit towards their New York Trip. These are available on a first come, first served basis. Please check in with Dr. Carr, Mr. Nelson, or Ms. Dothard if you’d like a box to sell. Anyone requesting a box is expected to bring back $60 as we cannot accept back any unsold chocolate.
