Marching Band Updates 8/17/25

Hello everyone,

Firstly a huge congratulations to all of our students, new members, returning members, and leadership for a successful week one of camp! We have two movements on the field already and are excited to continue this momentum next week! 

1.  Band Camp Potluck - The band will host all marching band members for a potluck on 8/22 (5-6pm). Location will be in the stadium (concessions).  We will provide dinner for all students, but we need your help!  We also need a few parents to help with setup and cleanup. Please sign up here to help feed almost 200 hungry marchers! We will break for an hour and use the Breitenbach Stadium for our "Field night" event this year at 7pm! Parent volunteers please arrive by 4:30pm to help with set up. Food drop off will be 4:40-4:50pm and can be dropped off outside the stadium (picture of location attached to this email). 

We will break for an hour for set up and clean up and then use the Breitenbach Stadium for our field event this year at 7pm, so no need for forms! Students, due to good neighbor fest, if you're looking to leave early, we will only be able to do so at the top of the hours to ensure only our students are in and using the stadium. Thank you for understanding. 

2. Good Neighbor Fest - Good Neighbor Fest Starts this Friday, and the parade is Sunday! 

Students remember we wear the provided polo shirts so please wear something comfortable to have on underneath and shorts. Please have a good breakfast with plenty of water, we won't be able to eat until after the parade. Final Schedule out soon! Plan on the morning until around midday!

3. Parent Volunteers - Parent volunteers are what help keep the marching band running. If you haven't already, please sign up to volunteer here. (Don't worry, we'll teach you all you need to know!)
