MARCHING BAND – IMPORTANT!!
Here are the important things you need to know regarding marching band…
1) Please make sure Star Trek is fully memorized for Friday – in the key of C (at the end…)
2) Call time on Friday is 6pm at the MS in front of the administration doors. Don’t be late. Do not park in that lot, however.
3) Our competition on September 29 has been canceled by Wyoming. We have elected to go to a morning show on October 13th in Grandville and we need EVERYONE! Please make sure this form (download here) comes back ASAP. Deadline – Monday.

Rockford Invitational
We’ve had several “new” band parents ask about details for the Rockford Invitational on September 22nd. As with all the Invitationals, we don’t know the exact details until we receive a time from the organizers of the contest. The day we get the information, we will post it online and tell the students. The day usually consists of an afternoon rehearsal, break to change and a performance around 6pm. We then stay until awards at around 9:30pm and head home. Look for details soon!
