Weekly Update

Congratulations to our football team on an awesome Homecoming win against Gulf Coast! What a game!
 
The Marching Pride had a great performance Friday night. We were so excited to reveal the props and uniforms in their entirety. Thank you to everyone who stayed for the post game performance. This week, TNL will be performed post game due to the halftime 8th Grade Band Night performance. 

Congratulations to our Marchers of the Week: Hailey Hinchliffe (woodwind), Diego Mendoza (brass), Dreamson Beauplan (percussion), Monique Terrero (auxiliary), and Paige Brokopp and Alexander Hernandez (officer). Congratulations to our Section of the Week, the Battery Section led by Captain Dreamson Beauplan!
 
We’d like to thank all of our parent volunteers who helped with chaperoning and truck crew for last Friday night’s game. If you are interested in helping out for this week’s Homecoming game, please email Ms. Fuentes at [email protected]. 
 
Please don’t forget that we have rehearsal on MONDAY and Thursday this week because there are no CCPS events after sundown on Tuesday. There is no school on Wednesday, Cheesecake Pick-up on Thursday before rehearsal, Dancing Cubs/8th Grade Band Night/Pink Out Game against Immokalee this Friday, and our first competition of the year at Lehigh Sr. High School on Saturday!
 
VERY IMPORTANT: Parents please remember that when picking up students from Saturday’s competition, please wait for students in a parking space or in the student drop off area by the flagpole. Please do not wait in the Faculty Parking Lot along the curb by the double door entrance to the band room. The trailers unload all of the equipment and instruments in that area. Thank you for your cooperation!
