Band App:
Social media is an amazing tool for us to stay connected and share with each other! Can you imagine how band parents functioned in the 1980's? #PhoneChain With that being said, please be mindful of the fact that the BandApp is much like a "Group Text" with 183 people. #DingDingDingDing Each post and comment "chimes" each of our phones. It is my concern that many have turned off notifications and as we enter competition season are going to miss some important info coming from directors & boosters! Before posting a question on the Band App, please consider utilizing one of our other great resources...
Ask in your section group (smaller group is a good first place to ask).
Double check the newsletter (maybe look back a week too). Newsletters can be found on our website under the "More Info" on the menu #ReadItAll
Check our website for a list of all chairs & coordinators who might be able to help with a specific topic (medical, contests, banquets, volunteers, etc..) #WeHaveSomeoneForThat
Ask in our private Facebook group if you are on Facebook. This platform isn't as "group texty" in terms of notifications so is a better platform for lengthy discussion.
If after going through this list, you still need help or have a question - PLEASE don't hesitate to post! This is a newer App and we're still navigating how to best use it for effective communication! The Band App is for all to use and I'm confident we can all live happily ever after together on Band App Island! #DontVoteMeOff
Senior Night:
Marching Band Senior night is Friday Oct 14th. More details to follow. #ClassOf2023

This form is also available in the band room.

More details on the timeline of this day will be coming from Mr. Thornbury VERY soon (Turn on Notifications on your Band App!). We will be traveling to a host school between performances for students to rest. It will be a long day, but this is where memories and lifelong friends are made!
Homecoming Parade:
Friday Sept 23rd
The band will march in the parade, eat dinner at NHS and then prep for game! Yes, it's a long day! #Memories
The parade route is the same as it was for the 4th of July.
Look for the Homecoming Parade Sign-Up Genius to go live soon!
Another need we will have is CANDY. This is strictly voluntary and by no means required, but donations of non-melting (no chocolate) candy would be so appreciated! We actually ran out of candy well before the end of the parade route in July after purchasing what we thought would be enough! We are hoping donations will help make up the shortfall this time around!
There will be a collection bin at Contest 101 at the Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 8 and in the band room by the closet doors starting tonight. Please make sure you fasten the lid of the bin after you donate.
Thanks so much for your willingness to help out! 🖤💛
Michelle Neal, Parade Coordinator
