Weekly Update

I hope you all remembered to switch your clocks back one hour, because the Robinson household was a little confused this morning when we woke up at 7:45am…
 
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Marching Band Invitational a success! What a terrible way to end the evening, but the Marching Pride had a phenomenal performance in the rain and I was very proud to see them perform “The Next Level” one last time! A huge thank you to all of our students and parents who stayed after the rain to help clean up. If you were one of the students who stayed to help tear down, please come and see Mrs. Robinson tomorrow morning. 

Congratulations to our Marchers of the Week: Yulizay Figuredo (woodwind), Michael Gordon (brass), Jenna Briggs (percussion), Allison Rowtie (auxiliary), and Shelby Blocker (officer). Congratulations to our Section of the Week, our sousaphone section led by section leaders Christopher Salazar and Christian Guerra!
 
As marching band season comes to a close, I’d like to thank each and every one of you for making this marching band season a great one! Thank you, parents, for all of your support in driving the students to and from practice, games, and competitions. Thank you, students, for all of your hard work and for taking things to “the next level!” Thank you, staff, for working tirelessly in helping our students learn and achieve new things. Thank you to our school administration for all of your support! And lastly, I’d like to thank all of our Band Boosters and parent volunteers for all that you’ve done to help our students this year. Whether you’ve worked as a chaperone, in the concession stands, truck crew, or if you’ve helped with props, thank you for your willingness to give your time and efforts to the Marching Pride! It’s all about team effort: students, staff, school administration, parents, and band boosters. The year is not over, but we’re all off to a great start! Let’s keep up the EXCELLENT work!
