NOW!  There is no such thing as simply not showing up! This is the meeting where we decide on who will be playing what percussion instrument in next year's marching band!!!

Yearly Marching Band Organization Meeting:  Is slated for May 18th at 7 PM in the auditorium.  All participating students along with one parent or guardian must attend.  Please be prepared to leave a $25 check for your Music Department Polo Shirt (if you are a new member, or need a replacement).  All information will be taken from students directly following the "brief" presentation.
