Students will begin their Monday evening marching practice on Monday, August 25th.  Mr. Talbert sent a note home with students with the following times:  Color guard begins at 2:30 PM.  Band begins at 5:00 PM.  Both practices end at 7:00 PM.  Attendance is required. Parents, please be prompt when picking up your child after practice.

Support the band and colorguard, and enjoy pizza night at Rick’s Pizza, 1320 Lakewood Mall.  With the Pizza Night flyer, the kids get 1/3 of your purchase, whether you eat in or order to go.   Come anytime from 11:30 AM – 10:00 PM, and bring the flyer (available in the band classroom). Need extra flyers?  Feel free to print as many as you like!

Fundraising with SCRIP

Please consider using Scrip to help support the band and colorguard.  100% of Scrip profits goes to support our students and their activities, and it costs you nothing!

Using Scrip is exactly like using a gift card.  For every dollar of scrip you buy, you receive a dollar of Scrip to spend.  Orders are made the first Monday of each month.

Your order does not need to be large.  Every order helps.  Scrip makes a great gift, too.
