The Marching Band came together and performed very well at the Nevada Day Parade on Saturday. I'm so impressed with everything that came together to make this parade such a great memory for all the students!
- Several parents treated the band to a delicious hot breakfast in the band room. I can't thank you enough. The food was delicious and we had very happy kids.
- The uniforms looked great! Thank you, parents, for getting the kids in and out of the uniforms and French braiding the hair so well! (had I attempted the braiding, they'd look like rats' nests)
- I also appreciate the Nevada Day Parade president allowing us to arrive at the parade location at a later time. It cut our wait time down from 4 hours to 1 1/2 hours.
- The band members were very positive and excited throughout the event. They showed a terrific amount of pride and camaraderie.

Since many Intermediate Band students did not turn in a practice log, their practice log playing test will also double as their official playing test on Friday. This only applies to the students who did not turn in a practice log. All others will take the test on Friday.
