Meeting Reminder

Hello band,

We've started the year!  If you haven't heard, the Our Lady of Mercy Marching band had their first parade (in 101 degree weather) and they did awesome!  We even had 100% attendance to start the year off right. I hope we can keep this record going!

 

This Wednesday, September 26th from 6:30-8 pm in the band room is our next band booster meeting. We have much to discuss and prepare for.  At least one adult representative for every marching band student is requested.  Remember, this meeting counts toward volunteer hours.

 

There is strength in numbers.  The Bible tells how a rope of three cords is not easily broken.  The same is true for our band program.  I and the faithful band parents will continue to do our best efforts to make this a successful and worthwhile program.  If you could help, in any way possible, that would make our job that much easier, and in turn, make the marching band program better.

Praise be to God,
Bj
