A big project will be underway after the Memorial Day Parade, and the uniform committee could use some help. We will be numbering each uniform piece before the start of the 2024-25 season. Please reach out to Dawn if you can help.

WEBSITE
ABBY DEBIASE
The Marching Band Website has gone through an overhaul! This is still very much a work in progress, but we would appreciate you visiting and sharing any thoughts that you might have with Abby. We hope that you will find it to be a more organized and navigable site with access to things like newsletter, meeting minutes, past show details, current year information, calendar, and more!
Check it out here, and remember that in order to protect our students, you must be logged in to see the majority of the site!
