As we wrap up one successful season we look at the next. Who has ideas for next years marching show! Let’s discuss it here and throw out a bunch of ideas. Remember we DO NOT want to “fit in” and “look like everyone else”! And remember boys and girls, “Be nice!”

Make sure you are checking the band calendar. The festival of lights parade is the 14th. When I get home I will fix that. But in the meantime all the marching band dates are up. Of course the entire school year calendar is up for Farwell Area Schools for two years

Camp this year was an outstanding time. Lots of fun with each other, MANY hours of work (Don’t want those kids to get bored you know!) and some great fun activities planned by Paula! Thanks to Paula, Diane and John for their dedication to some great students.

I was disappointed with the fact that I still do not have ANY pictures to share here on the band web site! Send me your pics so we can enjoy them!
