Band Camp was a huge success! Thank you to our Band Boosters and parent volunteers for hosting our End of Band Camp Party. The students and staff had a great time celebrating their accomplishments from the past two weeks.
This week we are rehearsing on Monday and Thursday from 5:30-8:30pm. Please be reminded that our rehearsals are closed to the public. Visitors are not allowed in the stadium to watch our students rehearse. Thank you for your cooperation. Last week, we forgot to mention that we nominate Marchers of the Week and a Section of the Week every Friday. The Marchers of the Week in the first week of band camp were: Jovany Osorio-Vasquez and Carlos Cazorla Vergel (woodwinds), Erik Alvarado and Kleber Flores-Hernandez (brass), Ava Jones and Sara Bejarano (percussion), Mica Gromis and Gianna Klenk (auxiliary), and Liam Rezende and Andrew Borbor (officer). The Section of the Week was the Trombone Section led by brass captains Kleber Flores-Hernandez and Jack Waligora, and section leaders Jeremy Walsh, Malia Hubbell, and Genesis LaRusso. Last week’s Marchers of the Week were Shaun Anderson (woodwind), John Allen (brass), Sebastian Angeles (percussion), Tamera Linton (auxiliary), and Ben Llorca (officer). The Section of the Week was the Auxiliary Team led by auxiliary captains Melanie Moreno-Lopez and Daniela Rives, and section leaders Mia Dixon, Yaylin Hernandez-Bautista, and Jillian Paquette. Congratulations! Here’s what you need to know for this week’s events. This Week’s Schedule: Monday (8/7)
