Band Kick-off Supper a Success!
WOW!!! Didn't the kids do a fantastic job for the show preview?! We were all blown away at the quality of the sound, the marching and how far they've come in putting the show together! I've heard so many encouraging comments and compliments of the band already. The kids have been troopers in this heat and have worked so hard. Thanks for a job well done, Mr. Stough and kids!
T-Shirts & Gloves
Band t-shirts will soon be on order and we will let you know how much they cost. Gloves are $5 per pair. You can pay when you receive your gloves. Delivery date to be announced.
Band-A-Rama Cancelled
Unfortunately, due to some scheduling conflicts with the other schools that were invited, the Band-A-Rama has been cancelled. Sorry kids!
Shoe Make-Up Date
Several band students were unable to order marching shoes during Rookie Camp. I have been in touch with Mr. Thompson (the shoe guy) and he is checking on a date when he can come back and size the kids that still need to order shoes. Date to be announced soon!
Items Arrived for the Concessions Stand
Our new funnel cake fryer along with our new sno cone machine has arrived! We are looking forward to having a permanent "home" for our concessions! Once we gain permanent access to the concessions stand, we will need several volunteers to help us clean it and get it ready for our first game on August 31st! More details to come!
