Saturday is our state contest.  This is our BIGGEST CONTEST OF THE SEASON, and we need everyone at ALL rehearsals this week!  PLEASE reschedule any appointments this week.  MISSING REHEARSAL IS NOT ALLOWED THIS WEEK.  

We need YOU IN THE STANDS this weekend!  We need our fans to be LOUD AND PROUD on Saturday!  

Next week, we will begin concert band season so please make sure you have your concert instruments in working order!

Please be aware the semester is quickly coming to a close and you must be in BOTH marching and concert bands to attend the band banquet in May. The only exceptions are if you are in an active sport which is a class or if you are in color guard and do not play an instrument. With these two exceptions, students involved in either of them must return for parade band to be able to attend the banquet.  This is done because concert band is fundamental in deciding the show for the next marching season and this is where playing techniques are learned. You miss out on these important things not being in concert band.  Remember, we are only as strong as our weakest player.

Please remember our travel caravan order for this weekend (if you are riding with our caravan)-Directors, Bus 1, 18-Wheeler, Bus 2, Equipment Vehicles, and parents/friends.  Please do not get in between the first 5 so we can keep our radio contact.  We love our supporters riding with us, we just need those radios working!  

Performance Rules-a student must have passed all memorization tests, no ISS and have participated in 2 full runs of the show prior to the performance.  

Remember-NO PDA!  You are involved in a school sponsored activity and this rule applies at all times when traveling with this band.  

Sheet Fundraiser is due October 31, 2023!

THIS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27-WE WILL LEAVE AT 4:15
