WHAT IS TraiLS, AND SHOULD I BE THERE?

It's not too late to join TraiLS!

TraiLS stands for Training for Leadership through Service. It is our leadership training program for any student who plans to apply for a leadership position in next year's band. At these sessions, you will learn how to be a better leader for our band. You will also participate in several service projects.

See yourself as band captain or drum major in a few years? You need to be in TraiLS now.

If you missed last week's meeting, it is very important that you do two things:

Find someone who was at the meeting and get a summary from them.

MAKING SUMMER PLANS?

January 30th is National Plan for Vacation Day. As you make your summer plans, be sure to check the BAND CALENDAR. All marching band members need to plan to be present for ALL summer marching band rehearsals, aka BAND CAMP.

LISTEN TO THIS!

"LISTEN TO THIS" is a weekly feature in our newsletter where I challenge each member of the band to listen to some great band music. This week we have another iconic piece of music in the band repertoire. This piece is by an American composer named Aaron Copland. Enjoy Fanfare for the Common Man, performed by the brass and percussion sections of the "President's Own" U.S. Marine Band.
