Band Handbook

This past weekend included the band performing at the football team’s 24-21 victory over Zionsville and placing 4th at the Lawrence Central Invitation competition with a score of 67.25. These wonderful band experiences for our students were made possible by the generous help of many people. Many thanks to Melissa Kieper and the food committee for donating and serving the pregame dinner. Thank you to Casey Matczak and Christy Smith and the spirit committee for organizing the bus send-off and providing snacks for after the performance Saturday night. Thank you to the props team that has been working nonstop for the past several weeks and placed the beautiful weathervane on the field. We are excited to see the next props. Thanks to the uniform team, plumes were efficiently handed out and the students received their new gloves just in time for competition warmups.

A BIG THANKS goes to Collin and Emily Geisking for driving the semi-trailer that pulled our new trailer to its first marching band competition. Thank you to Matthew Hills for driving the box truck and showing true hustle in finding a truck! Thank you to the chaperones and bus drivers by safely getting our students to and from the competition. Thank you to the parents that helped unload the semi-trailer when we returned to the school, it made a big difference. Thank you to the family and friends that loudly cheered the band at the game and the competition! Also, thank you to the volunteers that worked at the Mums pickup last Wednesday.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

This Saturday is our first BOA competition in Dayton, OH! Please see the attached packet below that contains our itinerary, parking information, entry information (including important info about masks and bags), and the performance schedule.

It is time to celebrate the season with SPIRIT BUTTONS! We are currently offering two button options. The first option is a personalized button with your student and the second option is of the current show theme. Each button is $3 or you can purchase two for $5. Purchase a button for the entire family and save one for the memory book!

Each student will receive 1 personalized button (included in band fees).

The guard will have their entire show uniform and accessories this week, so we are ready to take spirit button photos. All guard members will need to be “show ready” for the pictures. This includes uniform, makeup, and hair.
