Director’s Notes!
Hello Band Families!
I hope you all had a safe and happy Homecoming! The marching band had great performances at the pep rally, football game, and parade! This week is the Downers Grove Competition!
On Thursday, we will be welcoming future members of our band family to GBS for Junior High Band Day! More information will be shared during class this week. Please note that it is the same day as the Fall Sports Assembly, so please communicate with your teachers! The uniform for Junior High Band Day will be announced during class.
Thank you to everyone who applied for Band Student Council this year. Keep an eye out for committee assignments and an announcement about the first meeting!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
One Band, One Family!
