Color Guard Information

Well it is official. . . the start of the 2010 Marching Roo Band Season.  Today was the first day of band camp.  Thanks to the guard members that where in attendance.  We had a great day.  I know it was a surprise to the new members when we put a rifle in their hands.  They did a great job for the first day. . . keep practicing ladies, it will get easier.

The officers and several returns, as well as a graduate worked super hard in almost completing the choreography for the opener.  It is super fun and exciting.

Again I want to apologize for not having a calendar and fee information to you sooner.  The district has been installing a new network and so printing has been a problem.  Also with the bandhall having new flooring installed as well things have been pretty crazy.

So, I will post the Football Game schedule and fees here on the blog.
