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.

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.

CFAFers – please be watching for facebook notices and email concerning classes this week. We cannot meet at Chalcedon this Tuesday due to repairs to the building. I am currently looking for another location to host our Tuesday classes (I would need 3 rooms). If you have any ideas, please let me know. If I can’t find another location we will resume classes on Thursday.
