Band Camp was awesome! Congratulations to the Big Red tribe for winning the Golden Music Stand Award!
Each item comes from a different vendor, and they all have different turn-around times. Most items will arrive over the next two weeks.
You need a pair of khaki shorts for the first few football games! Don't wait until the last minute to get this taken care of. Our first game is Friday, August 20.
Band Booster meetings the first TUESDAY of every month, starting at 6:00 p.m. Meetings are open to all band parents, grandparents, and other adult family members who are interested in supporting the band program. Our booster program needs a restart after taking a year off. I hope you will join us. Our first meeting is this week - Tuesday, August 3rd.
We have 23 band members signed up to attend Carolina Band Day at USC on September 4. It's going to be a ton of fun! More details are coming soon, but for now, know that it is an all-day event.
Mrs. O is having a Beginning Band Jumpstart Day on Saturday, August 14. New 6th grade band members will get their instruments that day, and each section will have an college student to help them learn how to put the instruments together, care for the instrument, and make the all-important first sound. We need some high school students to help. Free pizza if you sign up! https://forms.gle/E24iTzsZKAjCF4v4A
