This event has been well-received and is held the last day of Marching Band Camp – despite the rain!!! I would strongly recommend trying it again, as it’s a great opportunity for first-year parents to meet the “old timers” in a non-volunteer environment… more time to talk about how to help out, etc. All that’s needed for this is to clear it with the directors – make sure you have the correct date for the last Marching Band rehearsal – and have something printed up for the parents at the first Marching Band rehearsal. There is nothing to buy or set up.
