Land of Band and Color Guard
Lighter Week Ahead
Last week was a bit crazy with our first Monday evening rehearsal, Booster Meeting, Back to School Night, Bell Game, and Camp Day Rehearsal! Thanks to everyone who helped make each of those events successful!
This week is a bit lighter. We still have lots to accomplish so keep practicing, memorize music, and continue to hydrate! Also, do not fall behind in your other classes. If you think you are busy now, just wait until October and November!
Stay. On. Top. Of. Your. School. Work!
