Please join us on Friday, July 30th at 6:30 pm to learn more about our organization. We will follow this with a band meeting for NEW band member parents at 7:00. Do you have questions about the upcoming marching band season? Do you need advice from our experts (parents who have done this a few times)? This is a great time to find some help and answers to your questions. After this meeting we will have a demonstration from the band showing what they have learned so far this week.
- Cookies & Veggies Needed For Band Camp:
- We are in great need of packaged cookies for the week of Band Camp and beyond. You can begin sending in cookies with your kids during practices the next two week. The cookies are used during band camp week and any cookies left over are used during each band event throughout band season. A collection box will be placed in the room next to Mr. McCullough's office.
- We also need fresh cucumbers and tomatoes for the week of band camp. We provide a salad bar at each meal, so we will go through a lot throughout the week. Please start sending these in with your kids beginning Monday, August 2nd so that they will be as fresh as possible.
