BAND DIRECTOR'S UPDATE

Its hard to believe that graduation is just 6 days away!!!  Congratulations, in advance, to the Class of 2021 and best wishes on your next steps

Blue Star Mothers Concert - Thursday, May 27 - 7:30PM
Members of the Class of 2021, 2022, and 2023 will be performing Thursday evening at the Blue Star Mothers Memorial Ceremony/Concert.  They will need their summer uniform for this event; so, start searching now, not Thursday evening.  White marching shoes can be left at home; but some type of shoe is required for the concert - no sandals or flip-flops.  In addition, the band room will be open from 6:30-7:00PM for instrument pick-up (sousaphones/drumline) and immediately after for returns.  See final details below.


Memorial Day Parade - Saturday, May 29 - 10:00AM
The entire band will be marching in the annual Memorial Day Parade on Saturday, May 29.  The parade steps off at 10:00AM from First Community Church at 1st/Cambridge and ends at Oxley by Pierce Field.  Band members will wear their row shirts (or Grandview t-shirt), athletic shorts (no tights), and athletic shoes.  The band room will be open from 8:30-9:15AM for instrument pick-up and open for 30 minutes following the parade.  Call time is posted below.
