This week the Marching Lions Band goes through their second week of Band Camp 2019. Over the past week, the members of the Marching Lions have enjoyed participating in “Spirit Day” themes by dressing up to represent each day’s theme. The student leadership team has been reaching out to our various businesses in the community and getting their support for a raffle to be held at the end of this week. Each day the staff has recognized students for their outstanding work one the field in the morning or in the afternoon rehearsals by giving them a ticket to enter into the raffle drawing to get a chance to pick a prize. If there are any family business owners that would like to support the leadership team with a donation to their raffle or any individual that would like to contribute, the students would be most grateful. We have asked the businesses that they have been in contact with if they would donate a gift card, gift certificate, or special discount coupons for their business. We have encouraged gift cards or gift certificates to be $5 or $10 with the hopes that multiple cards or certificates of the smaller amounts might be donated. We have received several donations from businesses in the community in the form of the cards, certificates, and actual merchandise already, and hope more will come in this week in order to provide a great reward opportunity for our students for all of their hard work during the two week camp.
Looking ahead to next week, we will return back to our Wednesday night rehearsals from 6:00-9:00PM.
