Director’s Notes

Hello Band Families!

As you receive this email, the Marching Titans are competing at the Marengo Settlers’ Day Competition! Performances like this do not happen without incredible work from the students and staff, and the amazing help from our volunteers! Thank you all for making such a great season so far!

We are getting ready to start jazz! The clinic and audition days will be announced as soon as they are finalized. Any interested students should fill out this google form. This will help us prepare materials for the clinic.

Our final marching band competition is one week from today at Sandwich High School. 

This Thursday is Junior High Band Day! We’ll be welcoming hundreds of future Titans to John Davis Stadium as we prepare for our performance on October 25th in the Titan Dome! Marching Band Students will be excused from 8am until 11:30am on Thursday. The uniform for the day will be announced during the week and be based on weather.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

One Band, One Family!
