Next year...new schedule?
The really nice thing about a Thursday evening rehearsal is that it will be like a dress rehearsal before the very next day’s performance. This means a stronger performance at the game!
We are also changing things up to improve the Band in as many positive ways as possible. Stay Tuned!
