Parade Next Week!

We hope that you are enjoying your summer! We have another percussion clinic this Thursday, a volunteer opportunity to assist with straightening the booster areas of the band room this Saturday, and we host the county-wide parade practice next Thursday before we perform for our community on the 4th of July. Start now if you haven’t started drinking water and monitoring your electrolyte intake. You’ll feel much better at the rehearsal next week if you begin hydrating properly this week.

We are traveling to Universal Studios!

On Friday, June 13, we had a virtual meeting to announce this year’s trip. If you missed it, here how you can get the inforamtion and sign up for the trip! We would love for all students in the Trojan Marching Band to travel with us to Universal Studios this March! We will travel from March 20 – 24, 2026, and participate in a sound stage experience where the students will record the background music, dialogue, and sound FX for a scene from Despicable Me! This will be an exciting experience in addition to the opportunities to observe the performance industry while visiting Universal Studios Orlando, Islands of Adventure, and the newest park EPIC Universe! We will spend 2 days at EPIC, and have 2 days at Universal/Islands of Adventure with park-to-park privileges, so the students will have the opportunity to ride many roller coasters throughout the trip!

For more information and to sign-up for the trip please visit https://chstrojanband.com/26-bandtrip/ • Sign up using the links to the Super Holiday Tours website.
