Director’s Notes!
Hello Band Families!
Congratulations to the Marching Titans on a great performance at the Downers Grove Marching Band Competition! The band received third place in Class A! Our competitive season ends one week from today at the Sandwich MusicFest! Come cheer on the Marching Titans! Thank you to all the parents for making yesterday possible, and a special thank you goes out to our equipment crew who were on the field making sure our props stayed up in the wind!
Our last scheduled football game is this Friday! Come out to support the Marching Titans, who will be joined by the Attea Flyer Band and the Springman Wildcat Band for a special halftime performance!
All students who are renting a school instrument should bring their instruments in to get checked in at the band office this week. If you have a larger instrument at home, please see Mr. Boron to discuss an arrangement to take care of the check-in.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
One Band, One Family!

We ask that you RSVP here (even if you’re not completely sure) so Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria knows roughly how many orders to expect & so you have access to all the event details. We hope you can make it, and please feel free to forward this invitation to your friends and family. Thanks in advance for your support!
