I wanted to keep everyone up to date with the schedules and itineraries for Blackwater Classic and FBA. We will be recieving more info about the Pea River Competition on October 26th soon. As I told the students, these competition days are full day events essentially and need to plan to be with the band the whole time. Blackwater Classic is Saturday, October 5th. FBA Marching MPA is October 12th. Pea River in Elba, AL is October 26th. All of these are on Saturdays.
