REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR FANWEAR

Parents, family & friends, support the marching band & color guard by wearing your “I’m with the Band!” fanwear to the game (along with your PINK!). More sizes are now available for purchase. Stop by our table tomorrow to pick some up!

PARENTS: THANK YOU FOR HELPING!
We hope you are enjoying watching your students perform and meeting other band parents! From getting the equipment and instruments to and from the game, to feeding the students, to helping them with their uniforms, it takes a small army to make sure each performance runs smoothly. We are so thankful for each and every one of you who support the band!
