Director’s Notes

Hello Band Families!

Congratulations to the Marching Titans on an amazing competition season! Marching Titans- I, Mr. Krejci, and the entire band staff are SO proud of all of you and all the hard work you’ve done this year! A huge thank you to all of our chaperones, equipment crew, uniform crew, and anyone who volunteered in any capacity. We couldn’t have put on our show without all of your help and support!

With the competitive season ending, we will not be rehearsing on Monday or Thursday. Our next Marching Band event is on Friday. Students from Springman and Attea will be joining us for a special halftime performance at the football game!

Seniors, as we approach Band-O-Rama, please keep an eye on the Marching Band google classroom to fill out your senior survey! You will need to be in full uniform at State and Madison by 5:15pm.

Please reach out with any questions!

One Band, One Family!
