OFFICER CANDIDATE SCHOOL (OCS)

We had a great first meeting of Officer Candidate School on Friday. OCS is for any current marching band members (including all first-year members) who are interested in a leadership position for the 2020-2021 season, and it's not too late to join! We especially need more 9th graders! Our next meeting is Friday, February 21, 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.

JAZZ BAND IS ON THE CALENDAR!

Our first rehearsal is Tuesday, March 17, after school. We still need a drummer! See the band calendar for more information.

BAND BUDDIES

Band Buddies is a program we started last year in which SCHS Band members buddy up with an SCMS Band member who plays a similar instrument. We do this once every other week after school at SCMS. We have a session today (Feb. 24); our next session is Monday, March 23.

COLOR GUARD and DRUMLINE AUDITIONS

It's hard to believe, but it's already time to start thinking about next school year! Color Guard and Drumline auditions will take place after school beginning on April 13 - right after Spring Break! More details to come.

BAND BOOSTERS

Our next Band Booster meeting is Tuesday, April 14, at 6:00 p.m. Students are welcome to attend booster meetings WITH AN ADULT.
