This will take place from 3:30-5:30 each day. We will use this time to teach them the basics of our marching and horn carriage. I will only need current section leaders and drum majors during that time.

• We will start selling banquet tickets next week. Each student can purchase a total of 2 tickets only. Seniors can purchase 3 tickets. Ticket costs will be $15. Turn money into box with names of people attending and with the student's name. DOES NOT START UNTIL NEXT WEEK! The GC Band student doesn't require a ticket.
