Hi, hey, hello!
First off, I want to say how proud I am of the Marching Eagles for their performance on Saturday. The growth this band has made in the past two years in extraordinary and fills my heart with love and warmth. The pure amount of growth that has happened from the first day of band camp until now is also just amazing to see and be a part of. Our next competition is on Saturday, Sept. 29 at McKendree University. When I receive the schedule, I will send out an itinerary. McKendree is unique in the fact that after we perform for the audience, we then move into their auditorium, where the band gets to watch their performance and a judge speaks to them about their show, what they did well, and what they could do better. We plan on staying to watch all bands as well this day. Until then, we are going to keep trucking along, making our show the best we can! Few thank you's for this past weekend... James VonBergen, for driving our trailer to O'Fallon and back! Shelly Moore, for heading up our food and front ensemble transportation! ALL OF OUR PARENTS, for helping us move things around, making food for the band, donating snacks and drinks, being so flexible, supporting what we do, and SO MUCH MORE! It truly takes a village (which I know is something I say a LOT!), but without our parent help and support, the band would be splitting focus on performance days, and we appreciate every single one of you! Caramel Apple Fundraiser GREAT JOB with this fundraiser! We made almost $2,400 to put into our account to start saving for new uniforms! That is a wonderful first boost for this fund. Apples will be delivered on Thursday, Sept. 20. This is during Homecoming Week, so be prepared for that! It also is Color Day (one of the best days of Homecoming Week). Think ahead! Fine Arts Boosters Our Fine Arts Boosters support us financially in helping us equipment, instruments, etc. for our fine arts from K-12. Please consider coming to their first meeting of the school year, Sept. 11 at 6pm in the CM Commons. We need you! Homecoming Parade/Game - The Homecoming Parade and Game are next Friday and this is a quick paced day! We offer dinner to students and families for $5 per person between the parade and game. If this is something you are wanting to do (I highly recommend it - getting your car out of the parking lot after the parade is difficult!), please click HERE and fill out the form. Please give payment to me by Wednesday, Sept. 19. Halloween Parade I was just told the actual date of the Halloween Parade, which, as fate has it, is neither of the dates I gave you on the calendar. :( The Halloween Parade will be held on Monday, Oct. 29.
