Saturday, September 16th:  Old Time Farming Festival Parade (10 AM)  -  Band member report time is 9:15 AM  (Red Polo shirts and Khakis)

NOTE:  We are currently working on plans for a final band festival/competition, and the most likely date is Saturday, October 7th.  We are waiting to hear back from the principal, athletic director and the host band director so the event has the least amount of scheduling impact for our band members.  We should know more by midweek.  "IF" we do attend it would basically be all day affair, leaving by 8 AM or so, and could be up to 2 hours away in the King's Island/Cincinnati area..  We'll keep you updated!

HELP!  The Trojan Pride Marching Band is looking for parent volunteers for next season's marching band.  Currently we have one parent who is at all practices and performances who runs the sound system, assists the front ensemble with set-up and provides sound checks prior to all performances.  We have 2 parents who have served as volunteer drum line instructors for a number of years, and former students who assist all through the season.  If you have any band experience we really need you!  We also need some assistance with our recruitment process and with the color guard...especially in the area of recruitment.  Please contact Chuck Dettmar in the band office for more info!!  chuck.dettmar@centerburgschools.org Don't be shy!
