What an incredible night! Thank you to all of the volunteers who made our End of Year Marching Band Banquet such a success! Thanks to all of the staff, boosters, parents, and students who have made this such a special year! A special shout out to our Seniors who have mentored and led the band with such grace, humor, and dedication! It was on full display during the awards this year. Thanks to everyone who participated in the silent auction!! We raised nearly $2000! If anyone would like copies of the "Pictures" that our drum major took, they are available in the Google drive, along with all the senior photos and others that were included in the slideshow.
