5/27/25 - Marching Band Updates

Hello everyone,

One last reminder that our welcome event is tomorrow 5/28! We can't wait to see everyone there. If you have a new member that is feeling nervous, just drop them off outside the band room, we'll take good care of them! 

Schedule for Welcome Event 5/28:

4-4:30pm: Welcome, instrument check out (as applicable), music hand out. Meet in band room. Please bring some water in case it is a little hot. If you're coming from Cross Plains, come as soon as you can. This is meant to give you some wiggle room for arrival. 

4:30-5:30pm: Music read through! (New members no need to worry about sight reading, most of us will be new to the music as well!) Meet your section!

5:30pm: Dismissal

Music: Section leaders will have your music on the day of the meet and greet. New members, it is NOT an expectation for you to play through or sight read any of the music at the same level as returning members. It is more of an opportunity to hear generally how the song goes, and give you an idea of what music you'll need to focus on, or might need help with. Show music will also be made available on the BAND app should you lose your initial copy.

BAND App: Students, please make sure you have joined the BAND App for easier communication/announcements as we get closer to the beginning of the season! This is where section leaders will initiate communication to help make the season run smoother for you!

Upcoming Dates:

5/28 - Welcome Meeting (4-5:30pm)

6/6 - Woodwind and Brass Music sectional (6-8pm Meet in Band Room)

Colorguard and Percussion might have additional meetings/rehearsals sent out via their more specific communications
