Thank you to everyone for a successful week 1 in August! The band is currently firing on all cylinders and I can say with confidence that we are gearing up for one of our strongest seasons yet. It takes all of us to keep the positive momentum moving forward!
Dragon Run Registration Is Open!
The Dragon Run is the annual event which our band program holds nearest to our hearts. Saturday, September 30th will be the 17th Annual Dragon Run - this event was created in honor of Nate Boerlin, an outstanding student musician who proudly marched in our band at Kingsway. The Nathaniel Boerlin Scholarship Fund was created in his memory and has been awarded for the past 16 years to graduating seniors in the music department who exhibit Nate's passions for learning and music - we look forward to once again awarding this year's scholarship to two outstanding members of the class of 2024!
It is tradition that the band performs for the opening ceremonies for the event followed by our band members either running or walking. While it is not required that each student register and purchase a shirt, the shirt will be our uniform for these morning performances. Anyone unable to register may wear a similar shirt for the event if necessary.
Students and family members should select KINGSWAY MARCHING BAND in the team dropdown menu - this will assist with collecting your shirts the day before the run.
Parent Meeting Follow-Up
Thank you to all who attended last Thursday's parent meeting! For those who could not make it, all handouts can be found at the top of this folder, including payment information for the Thanksgiving trip. The trip fee is $85 and is due on Tuesday 9/12.
Cleared List
We currently have 75 members cleared. Reminder that all students need to submit paperwork to the Nurse's office to be cleared by the start of band camp on August 21st. Everyone should have their paperwork submitted by this time - if you have submitted paperwork and your student is not cleared yet, please contact the Nurse's office to inquire.
