Hi, hey, hello!
The students had a very successful and productive time at band camp last week! They spent the week putting the drill and music to their show together. They currently know all of the drill for their show, most of the music, and are looking ahead to our upcoming performances! This was one of the most fun band camps I've had the honor to be at; thank you, students! There are a few updates in this email; please read carefully. Thank YOU! For anyone who donated food, money, or time to our students this past week, thank you so much! The following parents helped in some way and the band appreciates you: Ms. Arnold, Ms. Gilleland, Mrs. Saboff, Mrs. Shirley, Mrs. Herzog, Ms. Johnson, Ms. Rea, Mrs. Gross, Mrs. Patton, Mrs. Roose, Ms. Hampton, Mrs. Albers, Ms. Sue Walker, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Yenne, Mr. Gross, and Mr. Ballard It takes so many moving parts to make a marching band season successful for all the students. Thank you for anything you are ever able to do for the marching band! Purple & Gold Scrimmage The Purple & Gold Scrimmage has been postponed at this point in time.
