We hope that everyone has enjoyed a pleasant few days off from band camp. Thanks to all who were present tonight. Friday, August 11, we rehearse from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
Monday, August 14, we will perform at the annual RCPS Teacher Convocation. A full itinerary is available here. Please note, this performance requires full uniform. Come to school dressed in athletic shorts, a WF t-shirt, long black socks, black band shoes, and white gloves. There will be no music stands available. You must have a flip folder and lyre for the performance. A pizza lunch will be provided. Regular rehearsal will occur that evening from 4:00 – 6:00 PM.
