OUTSTANDING 5K on Saturday – Thank you!

Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered at our annual Trojan Band 5K! Special shout out to Zach Nelson for his leadership of this event. Thankfully, the weather held off and it was a beautiful day for a 5K. We plan on hosting the race again next year on the 3rd Saturday of March, which will be March 21, 2026. I hope that you’ll make plans to attend!

Band BBQ

Pre-sales for our Annual Band BBQ begin tomorrow! Students will receive BBQ Packets during class. We ask for each student to sell 20 BBQ Meal tickets and 10 Raffle Tickets to assist our booster club’s operation. Our booster club provides financial, volunteer, and logistical support throughout the year. Fundraisers are used to maintain the fleet of logistical vehicles that haul our equipment and props to all performances, build props, feed students, band camp, host the Christmas Party, Band Awards Night, and other needs throughout the year. The Band BBQ is one of our largest fundraisers of the year. It takes a village and we are very thankful for your support of our booster club!
