Weekly Band Updates

2/15/2026

What a wonderful WGI Colorguard Regional Event!  Thank you to all of you – we would not have been able to have such a successful event without you.  It takes many hands to keep an event like this flowing so well and under such conditions!  Thank to all for making it possible.  

Please keep Mr Smart and his family in your thoughts.  His father passed away and he will be out for a short time.  If you have any questions for him, please direct them to Ms. Thomas.

We have another event coming up this weekend – our SCGC Madtown event.  We will be hosting Color Guard, Indoor Winds, and Percussion groups for this event.


The slides from the parent meeting are attached below.

Events

To all of our volunteers and Booster Board members: Thank you for volunteering your time and making our first hosted event a success! I would love your feedback on the day so we can keep making improvements. Please email any suggestions to amy321@gmail.com. Thanks! 

As all of us kept Mr. Smart and his family in our thoughts and prayers, Ms. Thomas did a phenomenal job of playing both of their roles this weekend! 

I look forward to working with everyone on the other two competitions we are hosting.
