We will begin the new chapter on Monday as we clean out all lockers and get ready to welcome our potential new members. We will have our first rehearsal of the new season this Tuesday at the Band Room from 6pm-8:30. ALL NEW AND RETURNING students must attend. We will be issuing out lockers and instruments and music. Marching band members will be given priority for lockers as they will be using them all summer. Please make plans to be there.
