Marching Band Registration 2025

  ATTENTION: The 2025 Trojan Pride Marching Band "online" registration is "live" and was emailed to all parents and guardians via the band Google Classroom .  "IF" you did not receive the email it is probably simply because the email you have as your primary email on the Final Forms is different from the one on Google Classroom.  You can also find the Registration on the Centerburg Music Website as early as this coming Tuesday, February 4th.  Simply go to the website, click on "departments" and choose Instrumental Music , then scroll-down to "Marching Band" .  If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact Chuck Dettmar or Anne Teschler.  Thanks!

Solo and Ensemble Reminder

  REMINDER: To all those participating in this coming Saturday's (Feb. 1st) Solo and Ensemble Adjudication that solo coaching and practice with the piano accompanist is tomorrow (Monday) at 3 PM in the choir room .  Everyone gets 20 minutes to work!  Please make arrangements to be there...and to be picked up from school when you're finished!
