Band Swag (Mon. 8/23): Since parents were not given the opportunity to purchase Band Swag at last Thursday’s rehearsal, the Band Boosters will be selling Band Swag from 6:00-8:00pm in the band room on Monday. We have our first home game this Friday! Take this opportunity to get your Marching Pride attire for Friday night’s game.


Band Room Access During Lunch: The band room will remain closed during lunch until further notice. Please do not try to sneak into the band room during lunch. You will be asked to leave.
 
All-State Pre-Auditions (Thurs. 8/26): Any student who is interested in auditioning for All-State must complete a pre-audition with Mrs. Robinson on Thursday. To schedule your pre-audition, please email Mrs. Robinson through Canvas or at robina2@collierschools.com today! There are contracts that also need to be signed by parents. Mrs. Robinson will give these contracts to auditioning students on Monday and asked that they be returned by Thursday.


Thursday’s Marching Band Rehearsal (Thurs. 8/26): The band will be practicing in their bibbers and hats during this Thursday’s rehearsal. This is to get the students used to wearing their uniform while performing. Band students will wear a silver/light gray shirt with their bibbers and hats. Auxiliary will wear black shirts, black leggings, and full hair and make-up. Please remember to bring your jug of water to every rehearsal!
