BAND DIRECTOR'S UPDATE

I intended to send a marching band wrap-up email last week.  Unfortunately, the transition to Concert Band snuck up quickly and it’s been a marathon ever since.  Please

accept my apologies for the delay. 
Marching Band 2019 - Wrap-Up
Congratulations to our students, parents, community members, and marching band staff for another successful season!  From day one on July 15th, we worked hard in all aspects of the program; from student leadership to performance, from volunteerism to fundraising, and finally, from Pregame to Show 5. 
The success of the members of the Grandview Heights Marching Band is due in large part to the support received from the officers, committee chairs, volunteers, and members of the Band Parent Association.  The band staff and BPA officers wish to thank everyone who volunteered this marching band season:

• Concessions
• Chaperones
• Loading Crews
• Concession Buyers
• Senior Banners
• Uniforms (Summer & Traditional)
• Truck Drivers
