Dear all,
We have cast two tremendous productions for winter guard and I am excited to begin starting those rehearsals. We had a great time with the Wakeland Marching Band and Percussion.
Both winter guards begin rehearsal this week - schedules can be found on the Winter Guard Weekly email. Both groups are expected to have the first moment of the show staged by the end of the week!
Lastly, we are wishing our Percussionists a great performance this Saturday!
Regards,
Alonzo
Thank you and have a GREAT week!
