1st Week of School Updates

Thanks to everybody for a great first week of school filled with hard work!

Friday night went well and the hit sounded great. A few reminders for the upcoming week:

-Keep working on the end of the 2nd movement so we can get it on the field Wednesday

-If you did not do so Friday night, wipe down your horns as soon as possible

-Keep pushing to the releases!

Hope everyone is back into the school routine, and be ready for a cooler week!

Pep Band Announcement


As a reminder to everyone, pep band is starting up in the next few weeks. Please make sure you pick up the proper lyre for your instrument along with a flip folder.
During the next 2 weeks, it is the section/squad leaders job to hold a sectional or two during lunch or afterschool. These sectionals will be used to teach/refresh the old charts as well as learning the new songs we received this year. Let your section know a week in advance so they can plan accordingly. Enjoy the last bit of summer and keep practicing!
