Senior Week!

We will celebrate our Seniors the week of October 14th!

Tuesday, October 15th, there will be a small snack reception to honor the seniors. Freshman will bring something sweet, Sophomores will bring something savory, Juniors will bring drinks. Everyone in the band will enjoy a snack together following practice to celebrate our Seniors! Reception is for students only. Parents plan to pick up students 20-30 minutes later that day so they can all enjoy a snack.

Wednesday, October 16th, the Senior poster is due. Parents make the posters, include a lot of photos of your band kid! We will hang them under the trophy shelves, where they will remain for the remainder of the year. Posters need to be LANDSCAPE only, and measure no more than 19”x14” so they can fit in the designated area.

Senior Night is on Friday, October 18th, during the home game. Senior parents, please plan to attend the ceremony preceding inspection, around 6:00 pm. Students will receive a cape, armband, and pin. During halftime, parents will walk down to the stadium with their student and have their picture taken with Mr. Tingle.
