Hello band students and families,
1. No Performance Tonight (but we will have a rehearsal)
As you may have heard, the varsity home football game tonight has been cancelled due to a COVID situation on the opposing team (Madison West). Our football team attempted to find another opponent for tonight but was unsuccessful.
Instead of the halftime performance, we will be having a rehearsal from 5:30-8:00. This will help us prepare a little more for our competition next week since we have now unfortunately missed several performance runs.
2. Competition Schedules We have three more competitions this year. Please find the schedules below, and visit the website for more information!

Transportation Situation Thank you everyone for your patience and support with our district's transportation struggles. We are expecting to have buses for the remaining competitions, especially since the next two are on Sundays. As a backup, the school has also developed a form to allow families to carpool to an event. Several of you have reached out about organizing, so please stay tuned for more information.
