Greetings Band Parents and Mac Band Supporters,
Thanks to everyone who showed up on a cool and drizzly evening for the first in person Band Parent meeting in over a year. We were out in the stadium where we had plenty of room to spread out and listen to Mr. Barton explain the Marching Band plan for this summer and fall.
Briefly, this is it:
Band Camp will be held the first week in August (it will be here in McMinnville this year.)
After that, rehearsals will continue on the usual Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday schedule.
The Band will attend 4 competitions in October.
We are very optimistic that this plan will become reality over the next several months. (I took it as good sign when a rainbow appeared at the end of the meeting.) As always, when more details become available, I’ll include them in these emails and post them on the MacBand website.
