The Marching Band Calendar is regularly updated and available on the Band website – we highly recommend subscribing to it.
Be sure to check out the Marching Band Weekly Memo, which remains the most up-to-date and preferred source for all band-related information. Our band directors frequently update it with important announcements and details.
Here are some great ways to stay informed about all things Band related.
