First Marching Band Competition

This Saturday is our first competition of the year, where we will be performing the first half of our competitive field show, "Firebird"! The students have put so much effort into their show and we are excited to show it off in competition!

A few competition reminder for parents:

• Please send your student with money for lunch at seacliff (or a packed lunch), and money for concessions while watching the other bands in the evening. Also please make sure they have a jacket for the evening after we perform! It will get chilly.

• Students need to bring long black socks, and their black undershirt with them in the morning.

• Please come watch your students perform! Please plan on getting there early. Even if you get there a few minutes before 5:30pm, you most likely won't be allowed into the stands and will need to watch from the side. I would plan on getting there by 5:10pm at the latest. You can find details about the event here
