Important Reminders
Congratulations to the Band on a solid first run of our opener on Friday Night! It is not easy to have your first time on turf be a performance, and the kids handled it very well.
We have a lot of moving parts this week, so please check the upcoming events section, and keep checking the band app for updates.
Thank you to all who volunteered at the game on Friday! The turnout that we had was incredible, and the kids felt it. Please continue to look for opportunities to volunteer and spend time with your student. Without volunteers, we can’t function, so thank you for giving up your time to provide for all of our students.
Director’s Note
Please keep October 4th and 25th open on your calendar. We are hosting our annual Marching Invitational on October 4th, and are hosting the 6A Area Marching Contest on October 25th. These events both require volunteers from all 3 McKinney High Schools and are a big fundraiser for us!
