A Note from the Director

I am very pleased with our progress so far and we will put an unprecedented two songs on the field, and had Fay not interupted us, we would be MARCHING AND PLAYING a full two tunes. I have been tough on the students so far, but they are turning into a fine group of musicians, and performers. Parents, please encourage your student to continue pushing. We are almost to our first game! I know I am extremely excited and I think the students are too. They should be proud of all they have accomplished.

Announcing for the first time ever:

ACA Band Game Night!

Friday, September 12, after the Opp Game.

Buses will return to the school after the game and we will unload and have a lock-in at the school. The plan is to have video games, snacks, movies, board games, and other fun things to do, including a band wide pillow fight!

Contrary to what you may have heard, there will be

no rehearsal the next day, Saturday the 13th.

It will be just the lock-in and you will need

to pick up your student by 8 AM.

Band members are expected to stay after school Friday to prepare for the game. Cornerstone Catering has agreed to set up to serve a meal. Cost will be $5.00 and must be ordered and prepaid by Thursday morning. No orders can be added after 8:00 on Thursday morning. As soon as we know what the menu will be, it will be posted here.
Remember to bring all uniform pieces to school on Friday morning.

Parent t-shirts will soon be available to be ordered. Price and order deadline will be posted as soon as all the details are available. We hope to get these ordered and delivered quickly.

Check back soon for additional details.
