Marching Band
We plan to have 2 marching bands this year – an Intermediate Band for students less than 14 yrs old and our High School Marching Band. Younger students who participated in Marching Band last year may choose to participate in either or both bands.
All students who plan to be in Marching Band need to have a copy of the Fall Show – Please make sure you pick up the music for Gladiators if you don’t already have it. New students and those who participated in Beginning or Intermediate Band who want to march in the Fall also need to be working on the music – it must be memorized by Band Camp. The Intermediate Band summer class will cover skills as well as marching and pep band music.

Items we still need:
I need a bolt of blue-ish fabric. It will be unrolled and “waved” during “Under the Sea” by the Swing Kids.
Civil War costume hats – any idea where I can find some?
Flat top straw hats (like barbershop guys wear). I have 4 of these, just need another 5 hats.

I will need a few of the moms to help fit Swing Choir ladies in their costumes – we’ll need masking tape or some other way to indicate which dress is for which lady.
