Hi all, a quick update:
Due to a very low amount of students available this weekend, we will unfortunately not be able to march in the Good Old Days parade this year. I hope that we will be able to bring the show to Bancroft for next year's parade! Sadly, this is the best decision for now.
Thank you to everyone who was able to help out for the Tater Toot parade!!!

Good morning! I hope that everyone has had a great summer so far!
Our first parade of the summer, Tater Toot, is coming up soon on July 25th! Attached is our rehearsal schedule. Any alumni and students grades 8-12 are encouraged to participate! Please let me know who I should be expecting, so that I can start the planning process. Excited to see everyone there!

Hi everyone!
We are still in need of a few helpers for March 7 Solo and Ensemble. I am still looking for 6-8 volunteers to help as room monitors. You can sign up for 4 hours or the whole day.
We are also looking for people to donate baked goods to sell.
Please let me know if you are able to help! Thanks!

Last month we had 4 band students participate in the CWC All-Stars Honors Band, this year held in Amherst. They did incredible well (with Indigo Sheffy and Makayla Peskie even participating on their secondary instrument of tuba!), and put on an incredible performance with all of the best music students in the conference.

We will be hosting this event in Almond in Jan. 2027, so watch for that!

The band has some great parades this summer! Thank you to everyone involved in running both Tater Toot and Good Old Days, and a special thanks to the band students who took time out of their summers to play and bring the band to our communities!
