Director’s Notes
Hello Band Families!
Thank you for your understanding regarding the weather-related schedule changes for this past week’s football games and marching band performance. Since many of our marching band supporters were not able to attend, we are excited to announce that on Monday, September 14th, we will be holding an open rehearsal in the stadium from 8pm to 9pm, which will conclude with a run of the show!
As a reminder, our first competition is coming up on Saturday, September 19th at Wheeling High School! Please check to make sure you have all uniform parts ready to go for the contest (polos, shoes, etc.).
All marching band students need to have a signed permission slip on file to be able to travel to the competition. If you need a permission slip or if you want to check to make sure yours is turned in, please see Mr. Boron as soon as possible.
Please reach out with any questions!
One Band, One Family!
