PBIS PEP RALLY

Each January we participate in a pep rally at SCES to encourage students there to meet their behavior goals for the second half of the school year.  This is for high school marching band members only (sorry, 8th graders).  You will miss periods 1 and 2 on Friday, Jan.  5th.

Color Guard:  Only SENIORS may sign up to participate.  Coach Flowers will communicate what to wear.

Drumline:  Everyone is expected to participate.  Wear your UA member shirt.

Everyone else:  We can fit about 20 woodwind and brass players on the bus.    Sign up now if you want to go.  I will choose who can participate based on seniority and instrumentation.

DOT SHEET BONFIRE - rescheduled again

We will try again on January 13th.  Details to come.

MARCHING BAND IS ALMOST OVER (but not quite!)

We have two more parades on our calendar:

• Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade - Saturday, January 13; report to SCHS at noon

• Livestock Parade - Saturday, March 30, details TBA
