Director’s Notes
Hello Band Families!
Congratulations to the Marching Titans on a great performance at Sandwich High School this afternoon and an incredible competition season! All of your hard work created a fantastic show that you should be very proud of. Thank you to all of the students, parents, and staff who made this season a memorable experience for all involved!
Tomorrow night, we will be honoring our seniors at Band-O-Rama! The ceremony will begin at 7pm and conclude with a performance of this year’s show, “Road to Gold.”
This Thursday, we will be holding an audition clinic for Jazz Band. All band students are invited (even if you don’t play a “jazz instrument”). Jazz Band is an extracurricular, no-cut activity, so if you’re at all interested in playing some fun jazz repertoire, come to the clinic! Auditions will be held on Wednesday, October 30th by scheduled time.
On Friday before the football game, we will be performing with the middle school band programs in the Titan Dome! GBS Marching Band students need to be in uniform, ready to move equipment by 4:30pm. All students must help move equipment to the Titan Dome. We will begin the performance with the middle school bands at 5:50pm. Following the performance, the band will be performing at the final home football game of the regular season.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
One Band, One Family!
