Hello, Marching Band students and families,
Firstly, a big congratulations to everyone for their hard work and performance this weekend. The band placed first in their division and also won the caption heads of best musical performance, best percussion, and best color guard! We still have more to work on this week, but a great showing from everyone this last weekend! Thank you for your hard work; we are in the final stretch!
Schedule Change for Field Trip Rehearsal
The field trip rehearsal that was planned for Thursday has been moved to tomorrow, 10/10. You will attend the first lunch and head to the field at or before 12 pm! Your attendance has already been input. We apologize for this change, but it is imperative that we have time on the field tomorrow as there is a large chance of rain towards the end of the week. Thursday's rehearsal will not happen. Friday's rehearsal will go on as planned, regardless of weather, and will be adjusted accordingly.

Student End-of-Season Party
We'll have a brief party to celebrate the end of the season and the hard work through the last few months on October 20th at 5 pm in the North Commons. We'll have pizza provided and hand out some special awards.
Potential Playoff Games
In the likely event that there is a playoff game on October 20th, we will be doing a pep band from the stands after our end of season party and would be in whatever you'd like to wear (no uniforms). We'll have additional information as we learn more about specifics, dates, etc.
