Congratulations to the Marching Band... Congrats for a great first performance!  Please be sure to review your UDB and go over both the music and drill for part 3 as we will be learning it this Wednesday evening! *  Just a reminder about attendance ... We're beginning to get last minute surprises about band members not being able to be at some Wednesday evening rehearsals.  PLEASE..... unless you have an approved " school-sanctioned " athletic competition, do not miss Wednesday evening band practices.  This is the only time we introduce and learn new material.  If you are absent it throws everyone off when you return and don't know what was taught!  All fall athletic schedules were due in the band office by the 1st day of band camp on July 21st .   That way we are able to plan our rehearsals efficiently. Thanks for your cooperation!!  😀
