So grateful and blessed:
Thank you to the dozens of parents that so selflessly volunteer their time and efforts
helping on games nights, fitting uniforms, riding buses, running/assisting with fundraisers…
We absolutely cannot do all of this without you!
A BIG “thank-you” to the Band Booster Officers who unselfishly volunteer dozens and dozens of hours serving *all* of our kids.

Band-o-grams
We are looking for student volunteers to perform Band-o-Grams all over town on November 16
Held every year on the day of the UofM/MSU game, each performance lasts about 10 minutes
and is often a surprise for many of the audience members
We are also looking for drivers that can transport 4 or more students from venue to venue
This is a full-uniform performance
We are finishing up thanking our uniforms donors this year, but may have a few extra slots ($75)
