Please pick up your pass Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning from the band room.  You will use the same pass for both Thursday and Friday.  Mrs. McNeil has them all ready to go.  You will need to wear your red marching band T-shirt (like the one in the picture to the left), school appropriate pants, and tennis shoes or comfortable shoes that are school appropriate.

Call time at West Cabarrus is 8:30am.  You need to wear your tye dye T-shirt, whatever shorts/pants you are going to wear under your uniform, tall black socks, your marching band shoes, and bring a jacket/sweatshirt in case it cools off in the evening.  We plan to arrive at Hickory Ridge by 12:15pm when they have our arrival time.  After we perform we will watch the awards for 1A-3A, and watch all of the bands through Hickory Ridge.  They perform at 7:00pm.  We will make our way back to the buses and head back to West Cabarrus after we watch them perform.  Please bring money for food throughout the day.

Gia Bravo and Lee Franklin will be drum majors for the Marching Wolverines for the 2024 season.  I just know that our resident bass player and drum set player from jazz band will be able to keep us "In the Swing of Things" both on and off the field this season.  Let's have a great season!

The closer will be based on Sing, Sing, Sing and the other movements will be originally composed by our very own Assistant Director and Percussion Instructor, Mr. Daniel Lloyd.  We are in for a treat as Mr. Lloyd composes in the style of your favorite swing bands such as Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, and more.  While those jazz standards are great, we are excited to share fresh new compositions that will surely have you swing dancing on the sideline when you hear and see the show.  Let's have a great season, Marching Wolverines!
