The Mr. D. Challenge!

Mr. DeMarro has been selected to participate in the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo on June 21 and he will be playing for the Queen!

He will need to learn all of his music and memorize it before arriving at the Tattoo. He will learn his marching routine in two days.

THE CHALLENGE: Can you learn all of your music and memorize it before band camp in August? DO IT! That way the band camp week can be focused on the field show!

Check out more information on this special celebration where Mr. D. will be going!

Football Updates!
W - 0     L - 0
Ted's Take:  

Ted will no longer be updating the opposing team's band and football outlook as he is no longer a band parent. Would you consider taking over this easy job? Contact Ginny at vglockwood@comcast.net if you would like to submit the weekly preview for our new webmaster.
