From the Directors
 
Happy Spring! 
 
We have reached the time of the school year where we are focused on the end of year events, as well as planning for next Fall activities. It is a very busy and exciting time of year!  Below are a list of very important dates and activities for all to add to their calendars. 
 
 
Looking Ahead
 
May 3 - Marching Band Kickoff Night
5:30-8:30 @ Turpin/Mercer

This night is for all of our students who will be members of the 2022 marching band. Students will meet their section members, receive music and play their instruments together for the first time. 

There will be a parent information meeting from 7:00-8:00.  It is suggested that each student has a parent attend to hear information about the upcoming marching band season. The meeting will include information from the band directors and boosters.
 
May 10 - Turpin Band Concert

May 12 - Anderson Band Concert

May 30 - Memorial Day Parade
This parade has not occurred for the past couple of years, due to the pandemic. It is returning this year.  
The parade takes place early in the morning and runs from MVCA to Moundview park in Newtown.
 
Colorguard
The colorguard program is looking for new members.  This activity is open to any student in the school district.  Please help us spread the word to anyone who may be interested in joining. 
These rehearsals are Monday & Wednesday nights beginning April 18th.  
 
Spring Percussion Rehearsals
The primary purpose of these rehearsals is to make instrument placements for the Fall season. 
These rehearsals are on Tuesday & Thursday nights beginning April 26th

Booster Elections
 
 
Booster Members will elect the 2022-23 Booster Officers on May 3rd during the parent information meeting. Thanks to all those who provide leadership to this important organization! 
 
 
Volunteer Opportunities
 
 
The May 3rd Parent Information session is a great time to learn about the various volunteer roles needed to make the Marching Band season a spectacular time for our students and our community.
Check out these opportunities in advance, then connect with experienced parent volunteers to express interest. Our props team will be starting before Band Camp! Photography crew is active from the first day of Band Camp through the final finale. Coordinators for student spirit days during Band Camp need to begin planning in May.
