BAND DIRECTOR'S UPDATE

Wow!!! What a whirlwind of success in our first week!  The band performed to a supportive crowd on Friday night and nailed our first game performances in nearly

two years then followed it up on Sunday night with a hugely successful Decal Drive.  We raised over $10,000 on Sunday and donations are still coming in.  Congratulations to everyone!! We are looking forward to debuting new opportunities for our students with this successful fundraiser.  Thank you to the community!!
Just a couple quick reminders for this week’s update -

Ox Roast Pit Lighting - Friday, September 10 - REMINDER
Just a quick courtesy reminder for Friday, September 10th.  The band will perform after the game for the Pit Lighting at the Ox Roast.  More information will be released as the event draws near.

Summer Uniform - REMINDER
The band will be performing in their Summer uniform for at least the first two games.  Consistency from student to student is very important.  All students are expected to follow these guidelines:

• All members will wear their white band polo, blue band shorts, white socks, and white marching shoes.
• Members with long hair will have their hair up in a pony tail and/or french braid.
• Undershirts and/or tank tops should be white - avoid contrast colors or graphic prints.
