July Band Parent Meeting Minutes
Marching Band

Thank you!
A special ‘Thank You’ goes to the parents and volunteers that made band camp a success! Thanks to the volunteers who donated food and served dinner each evening. Thanks to the Spirit Committee for providing snacks at the end of practice. Thanks to the volunteers who fit over 100 students into marching band uniforms this summer. Thanks to the medical professionals who provided first aid during band camp. Thanks to the car wash volunteers who enjoyed a bright summer day with our students. I look forward to working with each of you again soon. ~Travis Sears, Marching Band Liaison
The football season starts in August and competition season starts in September. FC will host a marching band competition in October. There will be many opportunities for each of us to support our students by volunteering. Thanks in advance!
