Silas (Band Captain) -
Hey everyone, great job last Friday at the game versus North Davidson. The Band sounded great and I am hearing a lot of improvement. I hope everyone is excited for another week of school. Make sure to sell those chicken pies as the fundraiser starts to wrap up. Thanks to all the parents as you continue to support your children. - Silas
Sean (Business Manager) -
Good evening, everyone. The marching band had a great time last Friday at the North Davidson game as we celebrated our first win. I think it’s safe to say that the team couldn’t have played as well without us! The Mrs. Pumpkins fundraiser is wrapping up; make sure that your student is trying to hit their goal of 10 items to bring in on Wednesday. Have a great week! - Sean
