Don't forget to be at the school tonight at 5:30. The band will do a run through then go to the tailgate party and eat and play some pep songs.

End of band camp

2009-08-02T10:59:00.003-05:00

Well the kids did an awesome job at band camp this year. They have two weeks of fundamentals under their belts and are sure to go far this year with their show. We had a terrible stomach bug sweep through during both weeks and took several of our students out (along with this parent) but the kids persevered and the final results will show come September twleve at our first competition.

Since I was out I didn't get as many pics as I would like to have. I will try to get up there this Tuesday evening when they practice and get some more taken and uploaded.

Be sure to check out www.reidlandguard.com for the calander so you can come and see up preform.!

Quick update

2009-05-19T09:01:00.001-05:00

The band had their yard sale on Saturday and raised over $600.00. It was a long and tiring day but worth the effort in the end. The middle school mini-marching camp went well. There were 9 middle school kids that particpated. They did an excellent job. I should have some pictures to post from that day later on this week.

Thursday night at six is the Spring Concert. Friday night the Little Ceaser Pizzas arrive at the band room. Please be there at six to pick them up.
