This guy made a surprise appearance at the last Bellevue Alumni Band practice! Will he be there this Thursday? Maybe :) Practice is at 7pm at Logan Fontenelle Middle School. Park in the back and head to the band room. We also will be working this Saturday with Bellevue 6th graders and their annual Saturday Band Day!

Bellevue Public Schools is looking to build its database of BPS alumni. This information can be used to alert alumni of upcoming class reunions, share District and BPS Foundation news and events, as well as offer options for support of District or Foundation initiatives. Thank you so much for taking...

We are looking for a video of the 1999 marching band show. Does anyone know where we could locate it? We believe show was music from film score to the movie First Knight.

Season Update:
Last week the Chieftain Marching Band competed at the Wildcat Classic winning Class A and placing fourth overall in finals.

This week the students brought an immense amount of focus and determination to their rehearsals. They pushed themselves to what they thought was their limit and found out they have a little more.

This week the band competed in the Titan Marching Invitational. They again won Class A in prelims. They brought an added intensity and an even higher level of focus to their finals warm up. Their performance in finals was on 🔥. They won Best Music, Best Visual, Best Effect and Grand Champions at the Titian Marching Invitational!

Did your time in the Chieftain Marching Band teach you perseverance? Can you think of a specific instance? Please share in the comments.

Thanks for the continued support. The Chieftain Marching Band performs in Homecoming Festivities this week including the game on Friday October 1. Their competitive season has several more events remaining. See the calendar at Chieftainband.com
