2016-2017 Band Banquet: SAVE THE DATE
The Wakeland HS Band Banquet will take place on Friday, May 26, 2017. It’s important to note the date now, as this is the Friday of Memorial Day Weekend. At this point, the day is set as a Bad Weather Day in FISD. More details will be forthcoming from the Social-Hospitality Chairs, but we wanted to make sure everyone holds this date in your family’s calendar. This is a special event for the Band & Guard students & the Banquet will be held at the Marriott at the Shops at Legacy (Plano).
