Day 3!

Third day a success!  Over half the opener is on the field, and we are right on track with what we want to accomplish this week.

Tomorrow (Thursday) is the potluck dinner and performance for the parents.

Due an excessive number of conflicts on Friday, we will only rehearse from 8-12, and will use our time to clean the music for our performance at Northwestern on September 5th.

Band Camp 2015!

Parents and Students,

  On the right side of the blog, you will see two documents.  One is the welcome letter for camp, and the other is the band fees for this season.  Please take the time to read these, and also check out the schedule for the 2015-2016 season.  This schedule is complete with the exception of pep band basketball games which will be added shortly.

  Looking forward to seeing you all two weeks from today!

Mr. V.
