This is also a great fundraising opportunity for the Band. There is a LOT of work that needs to be done to make this competition run smoothly and so we need All Hands on Deck from ALL our parents, alumni, friends and family!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Maryann Correll at mcorrell18@gmail.com for further information. It's a busy day but it's FUN too and a wonderful opportunity to share this day with our band kids and participate in their excitement as hosts. 
ALL band families are needed to make this event a success!
