Another great night of summer sessions! Without Mark tonight, we went into sub sectionals and worked a lot on school songs.
Music
Besides School songs, be sure to refer to older posts and keep up on all the other music that we have been working on.
IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, the snare sectional that was planned for tomorrow has been cancelled. A new date will be set soon.
PDFs for Scramble and Nefarious will be uploaded tonight and you can find them on the Music PDFs page.

Make sure to have Fight the Team ready for next Tuesday. Have a great weekend and Go Bucks!

We’ll see bass drums tomorrow and everyone else on Thursday at 5!
We have a few updates for the upcoming weeks of summer sessions. In addition to our normal sectionals before summer sessions, Mark plans to have more personalized sectionals on Wednesday nights. This week, he plans to meet with bass drums from 6-8:30. Next week, he plans to meet with snare drums at the same time. Sections not involved are still welcome to attend and have separate sectionals. This will be discussed further on Tuesday.
Bass Drums
June 13th: 6 – 8:30
Snare Drums
June 20th: 6 – 8:30
Dates for Tenors and Cymbals will be decided soon.
If you are considering trying out on one of these instruments, even though it’s not your current instrument, you are still welcome to come and learn!
