NOTE:  Change in procedure...  Every marching band member will be issued two (2) pair of black marching gloves this week.  Once those gloves are gone then band members may purchase additional gloves at $3 per pair.  RATIONALE...  While many students go through the entire season with a couple pair of gloves, others seem to lose them every week, coming back to us for more.  This way we can keep track of our inventory better.  Thanks for understanding!!

Friday Night Band Dinners:  Due to popular demand on the part of the students, we will be providing Friday night band dinners.  This week it is the clarinet's and sousaphone's turn.  The list is posted on the band office door so sections know when it is their turn and what is being prepared.  Please see your section leader to organize a week or so ahead of time!

High School District 10 Honor Band Audition recordings are due by October 8th.  Please see the list of solos and scale requirements on the tables outside of the band room.
