Here is what our schedule looks like this week:
Wednesday – Marching Band Rehearsal 6 – 8 PM (Color Guard @ 5:00 PM and Percussion/Student Leadership Meeting @ 5:30 PM)
Just a reminder that there will be no rehearsals this week.
Next week we will continue our Wednesday Night Rehearsals for the Marching Band from 6pm – 8pm. Color Guard will report at 5pm and Percussion / Leadership Team at 5:30pm.
Have a great week and HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!!!
This week we continue our Wednesday Night Rehearsals for the Marching Band from 6pm – 8pm. The Percussion will report and the leadership team at 5:30pm.
This is the final reminder, that if there are any parents or other family members that would like to attend the Drum Corps Competition at the University of Delaware on Tuesday, July 29th, may do so as well at a cost of $40.00 per person. If you would like to attend, please e-mail me (Mr. Wright) your request no later than Wednesday evening. Any requests submitted after that time will not be able to be compiled and filled. This way, I can get the tickets ordered before leaving out of town on vacation. For those that I have received requests from, I have sent an e-mail confirmation back so that you know that I have received your request and have you down for tickets. If you have not gotten a confirmation e-mail from me, then I did not receive your e-mail and request that you send it to me once again. The written e-mail request gives me a hard copy to go by when I compile the list and make the order.
Here is what our schedule looks like this week:
Wednesday – Marching Band Rehearsal 6 – 8 PM (Percussion report and Leadership Meeting @ 5:30 PM)

Wednesday night the marching will have their weekly Music and Marching Rehearsal from 6pm – 8pm.

I also want to remind everyone that the marching band will be traveling up to the University of Delaware on Tuesday, July 29th, for the Drum Corps International Competition – DCI Delaware, as a part of our first week of Band Camp. The cost for the students will be covered by a portion of their Band Camp Fee. Any parents or other family members who would like to attend may do so as well at a cost of $40.00 per person.
