Homecoming Week Pictures: Thurs Pep Rally | Fri Pep Rally | Parade | Game NOTE: The Marching Band Page has now been updated with basic links for this year's marching events. Of course - the pages are all empty right now - but as itineraries and festival schedules are produced - they will be added to the pages. As in previous years, post-event recaps will be added as well. We are seriously in need of an additional Large Enclosed Trailer to transport equipment through out the marching season. Equipment consists of 2 conductor stands (6 ft and 3-4 ft), black panels, tympanis, etc. Please contact Wayne Moore at 816-682-7288 if you are able to donate the use of a trailer. Magazine Fund Raiser is in full swing for the High School. If you haven't seen the packet - ask your student for it! 40% of proceeds go directly to your student's trip account and will be credited for the Indianapolis trip. Get those magazine orders turned in on Tuesday, Sept 18! Carrollton: BOD Groupies (otherwise known as parents, brothers, sisters and other fans!) Don't forget to wear your BOD t-shirt or other BOD-apparel on Saturday at Carrollton! Let's fill the stands with red & black! Remember you can eat pizza with the Band of Distinction for a $5 meal donation on Saturday. Please wait until all students have been served to join the line.
Meet The Band Night pictures (event pictures for the website, not the formal group pictures): Unfortunately - I will not be at Meet the Band Night to take website gallery pictures so I need one or more parents to be sure to do that please. Evan and I will be traveling with the KC American Legion Band to a national competition in Reno, NV this weekend. Please keep our members in your thoughts and prayers as we travel & compete! ~Belinda
Notarized Health Forms need to be turned in before the end of Band Camp. Every family should have received the form in the mail the last week of July. (Guard members received it on Monday of Band Camp). The first installment ($125) of the Indianapolis Trip/Marching Band Fee (total $375) also needs to be paid before the end of Band Camp. The informational letter about fees was mailed the first week of July to every band member's home. Hey Juniors, Sophomores & Seniors: If you have any spare lanyards hanging around in your room from previous years - please bring them to band camp for someone else to use instead of string. Band Swim Party: Tuesday, July 31, 8:15-10:15 at Dyer Park (FREE) Uniform Issue begins on Tuesday with Seniors.
Marching Shoes: If you've outgrown your marching shoes and they still have wear left - please bring them with you to band camp to pass on to someone else who may need them. Summer

UPDATE
Don't
forget - it's all about the WE - in order to get
the most out of band camp - drink plenty of water
(proper hydration starts the day before, not the day
of), don't play guitar hero 'til 3 a.m, and wear
comfortable shoes to band camp (you can't march properly
in flipflops!). Have fun but work hard! Who did you
meet new today?
